Jönköping County, Lake in Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Lake Viken is located in Västra Götaland and forms part of the Göta Canal system. The water body spans across multiple municipalities and serves as a connecting point between different sections of this historic waterway.
The lake was utilized as a natural water basin during the construction of the Göta Canal in the early 19th century. This development made it an essential element of Swedish inland navigation.
The waters of Lake Viken support local fishing traditions, with generations of inhabitants maintaining connections through seasonal fishing activities.
Several access points around the shoreline provide different options for visits. Parking areas and boat launch sites are available at various locations.
The water body sits at a notably high elevation within the canal system. This position makes it a distinctive point in the hydrological structure of the Göta Canal.
