Iso and Pieni are the rapids at the outflow of Lake Lentuanjärvi, a well-known fishing and sightseeing spot. The fishing area is about 1,200 m long with a total drop of 5.3 m. Brown trout and grayling are the main catch, and the fishing association stocks trout regularly. A campsite lies at the lower end of the rapids, and the upper rapids have a shelter and a campfire site.
Wooden walkways and railings lead to the fishing spots, so people with mobility impairments can fish here too. Signposted paths start from the parking area, and a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk leads to the top of the upper rapids. Boats can be launched from a rowboat ramp, and fly fishing from a boat is possible on the stretch down to Lammasjärvi. Fishing permits are sold at several outlets, by phone and online. Fishing-rest periods and minimum sizes apply, and anglers should not wade on spawning grounds.
