    Kanavapuisto's arboretum and rock garden showcase beautiful Finnish tree and rock species in natural park conditions. The accessible route also enables outdoor experiences for wheelchair users, who can enjoy the nature trail thanks to the 1.2 km long wooden accessible path.

    The route has 14 signs about trees and 8 about rocks. At the end of the route, there is a cozy home kitchen where you can also enjoy the beautiful shore of the Välijoki river.

    The end point of the route is the Välijoki lean-to shelter.
