Sørfjordvatnet

Sørfjordvatnet is a lake located in the municipality of Sørfold in Nordland county, Norway. It is situated in the western part of the municipality, near the coast. The lake is relatively long and narrow, stretching in a north-south direction. Its waters are fed by several smaller streams and meltwater from the surrounding hills.

The geography around Sørfjordvatnet is characterized by steep hillsides and forested areas, typical of the Norwegian coastal landscape. The lake itself is a part of the Sørfold river system, which eventually drains into the nearby Sørfjorden. The elevation of the lake's surface is approximately 12 meters above sea level.

Sørfjordvatnet is not a major fishing destination but supports a local population of fish, including trout and perch. The surrounding area offers opportunities for hiking and enjoying nature, though it is less developed for tourism compared to some other regions in Norway. The lake's name, Sørfjordvatnet, directly translates to "South Fjord Lake," indicating its location in relation to Sørfjorden. The water quality is generally good, reflecting the pristine nature of the Norwegian wilderness. Access to the lake is primarily via local roads.
