Isteren is a lake with a large diversity of species.[3] It is a popular fishing area, and the chances for the good catch is certainly present. In the summer of 2006, a trout weighing 9.25 kilograms (20.4 lb) was caught with a rod from a small boat. It is also rich in whitefish, pike, perch, grayling, burbot and herring.[4] Around the lake there are two fish mounds and some single cabins.[3]
The river Sømåa, originating from lake Langsjøen, flows into Isteren from the north. It is a river with a rich bird life, especially in the spring. Here one can observe rare species of migrating birds.[citation needed]
