Canodal
Canodal is right by the lake Stora Lee. It only takes 5 minutes to walk here from the railway station. From Stora Lee you have water connections with Dalslands Kanal. The water in Stora Lee is very clean and you can even drink it. Here you have great possibilities to rest, to go fishing and to enjoy the nature
Your travel will begin in ED, by the canoe central CANODAL. Here you will get your equipment and a short introductory course in paddling technique and all information necessary. We ask you not to disturb breeding birds, not to cut down trees and to put your waste in the nature (there are dust-bins to be found in the camping sites). First you will be foing north in the great wilderness of the lake STORA LEE. Choose the shore sides most suitble, depending on wind direction. Halfway north you will sind the village NÖSSEMARK to the west. 10 km further north, the border between Sweden - Norway splits the lake in two halves.
The lake STORA LEE debouches into the lake FOXEN, which is well worth a visit with its great number off isles. Paddle at first eastwards in the lake FOXEN, then turn off south to LENNARTSFORS. After you have gone through the lock in LENNARTSFORS - the third biggest lock in the Canal - continue into the lake LELÅNGEN. Here, the countryside is similar to the fjords in Norway. Paddle on the lee side of the lake. From there it is about 40 km to the community of BENGTSFORS, and it usually takes about two days to reach this beautiful village. Take time to see some of their famous straw-produkts.
You can continue through the locks at BENGTSFORS, then follow the channel until you reach BILLINGSFORS, which ends this one-weektrip. From there you can get transport to ED at a fee.
