Until the year 1995 a [[cable ferry]] connected the two sides of Puumalansalmi-strait. In 1995, a {{convert|781|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} bridge replaced the ferry. The bridge is a very dominant structure when looking Puumala town center from a distance.
Puumala has relatively good services compared to the amount of population. In the town center is situated a post office, an [[Alko]] store, a kiosk, several supermarkets and a few restaurants. The reason for the survival of these entrepreneurs is the arrival of summer inhabitants who triple the population of Puumala during the season
