Description

City of Kouvola – South Kymijoki recreation destinations+

Description

The route is about 4.3 km as one point-to-point path in southern Kouvola, linking Anjala with the Susikoski area on the Kymijoki river. For current details on the Susikoski rest area, river access, and how to approach from Anjala village by bike, City of Kouvola publishes South Kymijoki recreation information that also covers winter ski and snowmobile routes that follow the riverbank between Anjala bridge and Susikoski bridge. That material notes Susikosken taukopaikka near Susikoski bridge: a half-open shelter, fire pit, table, composting toilet, and supplied firewood, maintained by Huhdanniemen metsästysseurue (phone 040 097 8123). You can reach the stop from Anjala church village along Ruokosuontie almost to the end by car or bicycle, then walk or ride the last few hundred metres along the field edge. Separately, Retkipaikka has reported on Kouvola’s longer Kymijoki ulkoilureitti, a flagship ring route that shows how riverbank walking and cycling have been developed across the city; this short Anjala–Susikoski line sits in the same southern Kymijoki recreation landscape even though it is not the 25 km ring itself. Susikoski is a logical node for river recreation: Melontareitti Susikoski-Kuovinkallio starts from the same rest-point idea on the water, Melontareitti Huhdaniemi-Susikoski runs the neighbouring paddle line, and Kymijoen reitti, Inkeroinen-Talluslahti Itään is a longer canoe spine that also lists Susikosken taukopaikka along its timeline. On land, Pyöräilyreitti Myllykoski-Anjala-Inkeroinen continues the municipal bike network from Anjala toward Inkeroiset, while Kirkkovuoden luontopolku offers a short nature foot loop past Anjalan Sihvakan uimala. Winter visitors may already know Anjalan latu and Anjalan kuntorata from the same Anjala sports cluster. Mid-route, around the Anjala local-services cluster, you pass Anjalan koulun kaukalo and liikuntasali, Anjalan Sihvakan uimala, Suosalon leikkikenttä, and Anjalan urheilutalo and urheilukenttä—useful landmarks for water, play, and sports if you are combining a bike outing with a family stop. The Susikoski shoreline is a natural turnaround and picnic point before linking to longer cycling or paddling options. For network planning beyond this segment, the municipality links a map layer of bike paths and states there are about 375 km of cycling routes in Kouvola’s built-up areas and links between them. Fishing along Kymijoki requires permits in most cases; the South Kymijoki pages summarize permit areas and safety near the strong current.

Length & route

The trail is about 4.3 km point-to-point, not a loop. It connects Anjala with the Susikoski riverbank recreation cluster where Susikosken taukopaikka sits.

Getting there

From Anjala church village follow Ruokosuontie toward Susikoski; City of Kouvola describes parking at the end of the road and a short continuation on foot or by bike along the field margin to the rest area. Local bus line 3 serves Anjala church village; long-distance Kouvola–Kotka buses also stop in Anjala, with about 3 km remaining along Ruokosuontie on foot or by bike if you use public transport. The Susikoski bridge side has no through path across the wide ditch beside the rest stop, so approach from the Ruokosuontie side as described.

Good to know

Huhdanniemi rest area lies about three kilometres paddle upstream of Susikoski on Kymijoki; cyclists sometimes combine riverbank outings with both stops. Winter sees shared riverside ski and snowmobile routing past these points; check season signage and grooming notices from local authorities. Kouvola’s separate Kymijoki ulkoilureitti ring is a longer marked project elsewhere along the river. No YouTube clip met the trail-overview quality bar for this specific cycling connector.
