Uittomieskämppä
Uittomies kämppä in Evijärvi's Jokisuunlahti Bay honors the historical rafting tradition of the Ähtävänjoki River, which has served as a crucial link to the sea, facilitating timber floating and tar transport. The Evijärvi Society managed this project, funded by Leader Aisapari, with extensive volunteer contributions. Inaugurated in July 2017, the site features the cabin, a sauna building, a laavu, and a 17-spot training track for logger and forestry skills. Logging competitions and a four-kilometer nature trail are also available. The Ähtävänjoki River is part of the Tervareitti canoeing route, and Uittomieskämpä offers canoe/boat rentals and lake cruises. The Ähtävänjoki River has historically been a crucial connection to the sea for the Lake District, facilitating timber floating and tar transport for centuries. It was a major source of income through forestry and rafting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with millions of logs floated to Pietarsaari. Evijärvi served as a key driftwood assembly point for a Pietarsaari sawmill and was known for producing skilled log cutters. <a href="https://youtu.be/1jTQMNJywps?si=DDJjXWJ02DvARXUa">History of logging in this area Video</a>
