Lake Geitabergsvatn in Svínadalur
The lake is the northernmost lake in the water system in Svinadalur. As with the other lakes in Svinadalur, Lake Geitabergsvatn is a part of the water system that fuels the river Laxa í Leirársveit. As a result, a few salmon and sea-run trout are caught every season. There is mostly native brown trout at the lake, and they can be pretty decent-sized. The lake is very easily accessible and a really fun lake to fish in.
