Sølensjøen in the Rendalen municipality is part of the 46-mile Sølna river system in Norway. It is 14 km long, and the greatest depth is 58 m. With its width of 3 km, Sølensjøen has abundant populations of Arctic char, trout, grayling, whitefish, pike, burbot and perch, which has made it the locale of Norways only inland fishing village, on its north-western bank, Fiskevollen.
