The area around Storforsen has strong historical roots.

In the 19th century people began using the rapids to ship timber from further inland, down to the coast. Before then the rapids were both wider and shallower than they are today, but they were redirected between 1878 and 1945 so that the timber could pass easier.

The bottom of the old river dried out and formed what today is known as the Dead fall. Here the water-sharpened cliffs meet wild canyons that have been carved from the mountain where the water once flowed.
From several levels of the mountain you can dive straight down into the water filled valley, the highest level is an astonishing 12 meters!

Around the Dead Fall there are several giant’s kettles, carved in the mountain. The beautiful place right next to Storforsen reminds you of the power of nature and water.
