The Konnevesi Rapid Route is part of the historical Route and one leg of the Konnevesi– Paddling Route. It consists of 7 rapids: Siikakoski, Taikinainen, Karinkoski, Kellankoski, Yläisenkoski, Keskisenkoski and Hannulankoski. The route starts at the Häyrylänranta Harbour in Konnevesi and ends by the Akkosilta bridge in Saksalansaari, Hankasalmi. The first 4 rapids form a tight and unified rapid route, and the other 3 rapid section lies on the other side of Lake Liesvesi and the Pesiäissalmi Inlet. Both routes work also as independent white-water routes. The most valuable of the treasures of the Konnevesi Rapid Route is the Lake Trout (Salmo trutta m. lacustris) which still breeds in these rapids. Mieronvirta Oy rents the rapids for C&R fishing. The paddlers should take the fishers along the route into consideration. Fishing supports the protection of the Lake Trout. The route will lead you from Siikakoski (fishing place of late President of , Mr. Urho Kaleva Kekkonen) towards the cultural history route rich with stories of treasures, Stone Age dwellings and by the grave of a warrior from the Iron Age. The remainder of the route will be on the property of the House of Timola, in the village of Kärkkäälä. The cultural landscape of the Rossinkylä Village by the Rossinkylä Road is a place of the Haronmäki Hill rock Karsikko (memorial place). The cultural landscape and the Karsikko are accessible by land and by road.
