Renting a boat in Karlstad: the Klarälven delta on Lake Vänern
Karlstad lies on the northern shore of Lake Vänern, on the delta where the Klarälven river splits into many branches before it reaches the lake. Central Karlstad is built on Tingvallaön, an island enclosed by the western branch, so the city is full of river arms, small lakes and bays. The town received its charter from Karl IX in 1584.
A cabin cruiser with an extended swimming platform is listed in Karlstad, with room for up to ten on board.
South of the city the delta reaches to Skoghall on Hammarö, and boat buses have been part of local public transport since 2008, running between Karlstad and Hammarön, so expect them on the water. Our Lake Vänern guide explains why the lake behaves more like a sea than a lake, so check the wind before you head out beyond the delta.
