Vahvajärvi is a lake in Hirvensalmi, Finland. It is a medium-sized lake in the Kymijoki main catchment area. It is located in the region of Southern Savonia. The length of the lake is about ten kilometers.[1]

The lake gets its water through the Kissakoski canal from the lake Liekune, which is a part of a larger lake complex, Puula. When the canal was dug, the water level in Vahvajärvi rose several feet. The water then runs to Ripatinkoski (Ripatti Rapids), a one-mile stream between Vahvajärvi and Iso-Sämpiä.[2]
