Stokkavatnet (Forus)

Stokkavatnet is a former lake that was located at Forus in Stavanger Municipality, Norway, between the two fjords Hafrsfjord and Gandsfjord. The lake was among the largest at the Northern Jæren district, with an area of about 4 square kilometres (1.5 sq mi). It was surrounded by considerable areas of marsh land, and was known for a rich birdlife. The lake drained to the Gandsfjord, and the outlet supplied six mills located near the fjord.
