Gavleån, Small river in Gävleborg County, Sweden
The Gavleån flows through eastern Sweden for 30 kilometers, starting from Storsjön lake and ending at Inre fjärden inlet.
The river's name influenced the establishment of Gävle settlement, as the term derives from Old Swedish 'gavel', meaning river banks.
The waterway forms a central element in Gävle Municipality, where it connects multiple neighborhoods and influences local development patterns.
Several bridges cross the Gavleån, enabling transportation between different sections of Gävle while hydroelectric plants harness its water power.
The river maintains an elevation of 9 meters above sea level as it traverses the Gästrikland region within Gävleborg County.
