Development of the small boat harbor

We aim to develop the small boat harbor at Volgsjön in Vilhelmina. To increase accessibility to recreational activities and outdoor life near the urban area, we plan to expand the small boat harbor and create new activity areas for both our residents and visitors. The area has great potential to become a natural and beautiful gathering place. Currently, there are two barbecue areas, eight boat slips at the harbor, a smaller boat dock, and a jogging trail that stretches along the lake.

During the summer, our municipality is popular to visit to discover our fantastic fishing waters. Fishing and boating tourism has increased explosively, and we want to offer an incredibly pleasant and safe area for everyone to enjoy. This can be achieved by extending the dock, installing more lighting points, and improving accessibility for all by adding more tables and chairs.

We believe that this development will attract visitors of all ages. It will make the area attractive for families with children who want to visit us, give seniors the opportunity to get out and enjoy nature, and provide a popular destination near the urban area for many newcomers who want to explore nature.
