or is a Norwegian lake that lies high in the mountains on the border Evenes Municipality in Nordland county and Tjeldsund Municipality in Troms county.
The water from the lake flows through a pipe down to the hydroelectric powerstation near the village of Bogen in Evenes Municipality. The powerstation is owned by Evenes Kraftforsyning and is situated at almost lower than the lake Niingsvatnet. The water from the powerstation then flows into the Strandvatnet lake. A short river goes from Strandvatnet past the village of Bogen to the Ofotfjorden.
