Om Lesjaskogsvatnet

Stibeskrivelse
The lake is about 10 km long. Here you get real close to wildlife and it is a popular place for bird watching. The dirt roads surrounding the lake are great for biking and hiking. There are several traditional shelters by the lake, and one of them is universally designed for fishing as well.
