Laxsjöns FVO

Laxsjön is located at Billingsfors and just south of Bengtsfors. The lake is part of the Dalslands Kanal lake system. Several larger tributaries come from the northern and western parts of the lake. One in Billingsfors from Lelång via Bengtsbrohöljen and the other in Skåpafors which comes from Lake Svärdlång. The Stenebyälven flows into the western parts of the lake south of Billingsfors. At the southern end of the lake is Långbron and via Långbroströmmen the water flows to Långbrohöljen (which is also part of Laxsjön's fishing area) further via Mustadfors and to the next lake Råvarpen. Laxsjön's deepest point is about 57 meters.

Laxsjön is a lake with relatively clear and cold water. The shores around the lake are mostly mountains, cliffs and pebble beaches. There are also some shallower reed coves. Mostly in the northern part of the lake and the eastern part at Fjäll. There are a total of eight islands or smaller islets. Around the lake grows mostly coniferous forest with elements of deciduous forest. Billingsfors is located on the western side of the lake and the paper mill is visible from the middle parts of the lake. On the southeastern side of the lake, the picture is dominated by Baldersnäs. A large isthmus that lies in a north-south direction and the northern tip of the cape called "The End of the World". At the End of the World there are shelters and campsites. On the eastern side of the lake there are buildings such as summer cottages and villas.
