A number of locals still depend on fishing for their livelihood, while many others have taken it up as a great hobby. Lake Suvasvesi and the southern parts of Lake Kallavesi offer excellent opportunities for recreational fishing. Game fish include salmon and trout. Accommodation in holiday cottages is available throughout the year, and restaurants can be found at the Ritoniemi Holiday Village and in the centre of Vehmersalmi. Places of interest include Vehmersalmi Church, which was built in the Finnish ‘national romantic’ style, and the Local History Museum, open in summer
