Stífluvatn

Séð

The lake is located in Hofshreppur in the Skagafjörður region. Its original elevation above sea level was 97 meters. After the construction of a hydropower plant, the water level rose significantly. The lake now covers an area of approximately 3.9 km² and has a maximum depth of 23 meters.

Several rivers and streams flow into the lake, including Tunguá, Fljótaá, Húnstaðaá, Húnstaðalækur, Stórilækur, and others. The outflow runs northward through the Fljótaá river. A dam built below the lake as part of the power development has caused major changes to both the size of the lake and its surrounding environment.

Stífluvatn contains abundant and high-quality fish. The lake holds only Arctic char, a self-sustaining local population. The fish can grow quite large, reaching up to six pounds. The stock is considered to be in fairly good balance, although it is often suggested that fishing pressure could be increased.

During summer, Stífluvatn is exceptionally beautiful, with few places that can compare. The lush vegetation, with its strong colors shaped by the short northern summer, and the midnight sun near the horizon create a remarkable atmosphere. It is often said that people reflect the environment in which they are raised.
