==Tourism== Laugarvatn lies within the Golden Circle, a popular tourist route, and acts as a staging post. The town had a population of about 200 in 2010, and lies predominantly along the west side of the lake. The lake contains geothermal springs under its surface, making it a popular swimming spot with some warm patches along the shoreline year-round.
