Rahapellojoki is a river located in the Lapland region of Finland. It flows through a sparsely populated area characterized by boreal forests and wetlands. The river is a tributary of the larger Muonionjoki, which in turn is part of the Torne River drainage basin that empties into the Baltic Sea. Rahapellojoki is known for its clear, cold water, typical of northern Finnish rivers.
