Homla is a river in the municipality of Malvik in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The river begins when it flows out of the lake Foldsjøen and it ends at the Trondheimsfjord at the village of Hommelvik.[1]
The Homla was first used by the timber industry to transport recently-cut trees, but it is now just a small river with good fishing opportunities. Small-sized salmon and sea trout can be caught here.
Around the year 2000, there were plans for constructing a large dam over the river's largest waterfall, "Storfossen". Due to local opposition, these plans were eventually aborted.
