Bindalsfjorden

Bindalsfjorden extends 71 kilometers through Nordland county, featuring multiple branching arms and reaching depths of 741 meters near Stavøya island.

The fjord system formed vital maritime routes connecting settlements and fishing grounds throughout Nordland's coastal development since the early settlement periods.

The waterways of Bindalsfjorden support local fishing communities who maintain traditional maritime practices through generations of Norwegian coastal inhabitants.

Regular ferry services connect Holm and Vennesund across the fjord, while multiple fishing spots near Kollstraumen and Simlestraumen require specific permits.

The fjord creates a near-complete loop where Sørfjorden branches off, separated from the coast by a narrow ridge of land.
