About Randsfjorden

Randsfjorden is Norway’s fourth-biggest lake and the second-largest in the county of Oppland. In the north, the rivers Dokka and Etna flow into Randsfjorden. The Dokka river delta is a protected wetland area for waders and migrating birds.



Randsfjorden has rich stocks of big trout and you can catch fish of more than 10 kilos. The largest of the big trout, the so-called Dokka trout, is found in Randsfjorden. The trout spawn in the Dokka river.
