Kayaking with friends and family on lake Långforsen in Sala is a wonderful experience. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, you can easily experience much of the history of the silver mine or the rich wildlife on the islands in the large lake.

If you are inexperienced, stay close to the shoreline and discover bays, swimming areas, and exciting things along Gröna gången such as sluice gates or tree trolls. If you are comfortable with the kayak, you can paddle over to several islands or around the entire lake.

Kayaking is an excellent way to experience Sala's beautiful nature and remnants of the mining industry. Lake Långforsen was dammed by humans to create energy for the mine in the form of hydropower.
