Orsa Lake

Orsa Lake spans 14 kilometers in length and 6.5 kilometers in width, covering a surface area of 53 square kilometers in central Sweden.

The lake forms part of the Siljan Ring system, created by a meteorite impact that occurred approximately 365 million years ago in the region.

The waters of Orsa Lake connect to local traditions through fishing practices and recreational activities that shape the community's way of life.

The lake reaches a depth of 94 meters and connects to Lake Siljan through a 4-kilometer narrow passage called Moranoret.

The lake's ecosystem maintains specific water levels in adjacent areas while supporting multiple species of fish and aquatic wildlife.
