One in Billingsfors from Lelång via Bengtsbrohöljen and the other in Skåpafors which comes from Lake Svärdlång. Stenebyälven flows into the western parts of the south south of Billingsfors. In the southern end of the lake is Långbron and via Långbroströmmen the water flows to Långbrohöljen (which is also included in the Laxsjön fishing area) via Mustadfors and to the next lake Råvarpen.
