Ångardsvatnet
Regulation
The lake was regulated in connection with the development of Driva power plant, which opened in 1973. The lake Ångardsvatnet is connected to the lake Dalsvatnet through the river Haugelva, which is only 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) long. After the smaller lake Dalsvatnet, the water flows through a dam into the river Vindøla and it then flows east to the river Driva at the village of Lønset. The regulation of the two lakes has resulted in very little water flow in the river Vindøla for parts of the year.
Uses
The lake Ångardsvatnet offers good swimming and other activities such as fishing and boating during the summer. Surrounding landowners lease out fishing rights and sell fishing permits for sports fishing in the summers. In the winter, the lake offers groomed ski trails and good opportunities for ice fishing. There is an annual ice fishing contest around Easter each year.
