Abborrtj\u00e4rn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Forshaga, you\u2019ll find the charming little swimming area at Abborrtj\u00e4rn. The water is shallow for a long distance from the shore, and there is plenty of shade along the beach \u2013 ideal for families with children. There is also a barbecue area and a dry toilet. A 1.5-kilometre walking trail circles the lake. You can also continue around the nearby S\u00f6rtj\u00e4rn, making the walk 2.5 kilometres in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V\u00e4stra \u00d6rten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In M\u00f6lnbacka, you\u2019ll find the swimming area at V\u00e4stra \u00d6rten. The lake is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and the beach is no exception.

Skivtj\u00e4rn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just outside Deje, you\u2019ll find our largest swimming area, which is also the most visited during the summer. Here you\u2019ll find a sandy beach, a jetty, and a large grassy area perfect for both picnics and beach games. The site also includes an accessible toilet and a ramp into the water, changing rooms, and a barbecue area. During parts of the summer, there is also a kiosk on site. Right next to the swimming area is Skidstugan, with several exercise trails ranging from 2.5 kilometres up to 10 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the swimming area by Lake Visten, you can easily spend an entire day by the lakeside. The site offers grassy areas where you can spread out a picnic blanket. The water is shallow with a sandy bottom, and there are both changing rooms and a dry toilet. In several places around the lake, you can enjoy nature, take a swim, go for a walk, or fish. Nearby, you\u2019ll find Doktorudden with boat moorings, and Arn\u00e4stj\u00e4rn, which features a cosy walking trail around the lake along with picnic tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swimming with dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dogs are welcome to swim in rivers, lakes, and other waterways. However, at public swimming areas listed above, dogs must be kept on a leash and are not allowed in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All our swimming areas are equipped with lifebuoys \u2013 do not hesitate to use them if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We test the water quality several times every summer, and you can check the current water quality at havochvatten.se<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before each swimming season, we carry out diving inspections at all public swimming areas. The purpose is to locate and remove any dangerous objects hidden beneath the surface. To avoid accidents, you should still check what may be beneath the water before diving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Klar\u00e4lven<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The proximity to Klar\u00e4lven is wonderful, but Klar\u00e4lven is not an official public swimming area, and we encourage you to be cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arn\u00e4stj\u00e4rn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We advise against swimming in Arn\u00e4stj\u00e4rn. Since the lake has been used for fishing for many years, there may be hooks and other sharp objects on the bottom. The swimming ban applies to both people and dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
