Facts and practical information

Storakersvatnet or Akersvatnet is a lake in the municipality of Rana in Nordland county, Norway. The lake lies about 15 kilometres south of the town of Mo i Rana and less than 900 metres from the border with Sweden. The original lake was only 15.9 square kilometres, but a dam was built at the northern end so that it can serve as a reservoir for the Rana power station. This dam has caused the lake to enlarge to an area of 42.3 square kilometres. ()
