Lake Väsman, Lake with ten islands in Ludvika Municipality, Sweden

Lake Väsman extends 14 kilometers through Dalarna County, featuring steep mountain ridges and numerous bays across its 39 square kilometers surface.

The lake supported substantial steamboat transportation routes in the early 1900s, connecting local communities and facilitating trade throughout the region.

The winter season transforms the lake into Väsman VinterArena, where residents maintain skating tracks and skiing paths between Ludvika marina and Dröverka.

Fishing permits are required for adults, while children under 17 can fish without a permit when accompanied by a licensed adult.

An iron ore deposit of 640 million tonnes lies beneath the lake surface, marking it as a significant mineral resource location in Sweden.
