Viken, Lake in Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Lake Viken spans across multiple municipalities, forming an integral part of the Göta canal system at 91.8 meters above sea level.
The lake became a crucial component of Sweden's inland navigation system when the Göta Canal was constructed during the early 19th century.
The waters of Lake Viken support local fishing traditions, with generations of inhabitants maintaining connections through seasonal fishing activities.
Visitors can access multiple entry points around the lake perimeter, which features dedicated parking areas and boat launching facilities.
Lake Viken marks the highest elevation point along the entire Göta Canal, serving as a natural water divide in the Swedish canal system.
