Kannonkoski in three videos: the rapids, Piispala and Hilmonjoki

Three distinct local records: the Kannonkoski rapids, Piispala lakeshore and Hilmonjoki, all published by Pekka Termonen in 2008–09.

The video title identifies Kannonkoski Rapids and dates the recording to 26 August 2008; YouTube metadata records publication two days later. That makes it a useful dated view of the waterway, whose 9.8-metre drop and sawmill history are central to the municipality's story. It is archival material, not a guide to current bank access or water conditions: the municipality notes that older structures have largely disappeared and vegetation has returned to the canyon.

This 2009 clip is specifically titled Piispala Beach, so it offers a separate look at the Kivijärvi lakeside centre rather than at the nearby Öijänhiekka cove. Its value is in documenting the place as a shoreline destination at that time. The title and municipal embedding establish the subject, but the video should not be used as a current list of accommodation, sports facilities or opening hours; those details change and need checking with Piispala.

The title places this recording on Hilmonjoki on 24 April 2009, with publication metadata dated the following day. It is the most river-specific of the three clips and complements the municipality's account of narrow rapids, pools and a long fishing tradition. A spring recording cannot confirm present flow, fish stocks or permit conditions. Treat it as a dated local record, then check current rules and access arrangements before fishing or walking the banks.
