The Katerma portage serves as a safe bypass route to avoid the hydroelectric power plant when moving from Ontojärvi to Ontojoen.
The Katerma portage is a suitable bypass route for paddlers on the Kainuu Tervareitti water hiking route when moving from Ontojärvi side to Ontojoen.
Landing is done at the Katerma boat shore, from where you proceed along roads below the power plant. The shore has a gravel-bottomed boat ramp. The landing site is easy to find. Below the power plant, you can easily enter Ontojoki from a grassy shore.
Note that the river starting after the Heinälahdentie bridge up to the power plant is a canal, where landing is not possible. Use this portage route instead.
Author’s recommendation
Both landing sites have a fireplace, but no firewood supply.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Track types
Safety information
Near the power plant, there are strong currents and whirlpools.
Roadbook
A gravel road rises from the shore to Heinälahdentie, where you turn left and soon right onto Voimalaitoksentie. At the power plant, cross the bridge to the other side of the river, where shortly a gravel road turns left, leading to the shore.
