The Velhovesi Ring Road was born when two bays of the sea, Ruotsinvesi and Velhovesi, were dammed to provide water for the town. The two bays formed a large body of freshwater, separated from the sea in places by only a narrow isthmus. At Järvenkari freshwater and saltwater are joined by sluice gates, which act both as a control for the water level and as a canal for boating. In the summer time the canal can become very busy with boats. Recreational fishing is also popular in the area, with both the saltwater and the freshwater areas offering a good supply of fish. On one side of the sluice gates people fish for vendace, on the other side for Baltic herring!
