Snåsavatnet

Snåsavatnet is Norway's sixth-largest lake. The 122-square-kilometre lake is located in the municipalities of Steinkjer and Snåsa in Trøndelag county, Norway. The villages of Følling and Sunnan lie at the southwestern end of the lake and the village of Snåsa lies at the northeastern end of the lake. European route E6 runs along the northern shore of the lake and the Nordland Line runs along the southern shore.

The lake is approximately 40 kilometres long and on average about 3 kilometres wide. The surface of the lake is only 24 metres above sea level, and it reaches depths of up to 186 metres . The lake was created by glacial erosion. As is seen on a map, the lake looks like an extension of the Trondheim Fjord. The outlet is the river Byaelva, which empties into the Beitstadfjorden in the city of Steinkjer.
