Imatrankoski rapid Imatrankoski `The Imatra Rapid` is a rapid on the Vuoksi River in Imatra, Finland. It has been a famous tourist attraction since the late 1700s. Imatrankoski is also one of the National landscapes of Finland. Since 1929 the rapid has been blocked by a dam as the Imatra hydroelectric plant began operation. Today, the dam is opened daily between June and August, as well as on Christmas Day and New Year`s Eve. Unfortunately, due to the construction works at the Imatra hydroelectric powerplant, there will be no rapid shows in 2017.
