Ruskojoen melontareitti follows the upper and middle reaches of Raisionjoki—known as Ruskonjoki around Rusko—on a compact point-to-point line of about 6.7 km from the Rusko village area toward Hauninen and central Raisio. The same watercourse runs about 20 km from groundwater-fed headwaters north of Rusko through Rusko...
Typically paddled downstream from the Rusko village reach toward Hauninen and Raisio, following the natural flow of Raisionjoki; you may reverse the leg if your shuttle and skills suit paddling upriver in calm conditions.
