Stortjärnen

Stortjärnen is a small, purpose-managed fishing lake tucked into the forests near the village of Östavall in northern Medelpad, Sweden. Designated as a put-and-take water by the local fishing-management association Övre Hoans FVOF, it stocks rainbow trout, brown trout, and Arctic char for anglers seeking a quiet day by the water. What sets this lake apart from a typical remote Swedish tjärn is its thoughtful accessibility design: adapted fishing ramps, wind shelters, grill areas, and toilets ring nearly the entire shoreline, making it welcoming for families, wheelchair users, and visitors who want a comfortable outing without sacrificing the woodland atmosphere.
