Nodlandsvatnet^[2] is a lake in Eigersund Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway.^[3] It is located about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of the town of Egersund. The 3.95-square-kilometre (1.53 sq mi) lake is a major reservoir for the local energy company Dalane Energi, and has a capacity of 20,000,000 cubic metres (5.3×10⁹ US gal), the second largest in the area after the lake Spjodevatnet with 24,000,000 cubic metres (6.3×10⁹ US gal).^[4]

The lake also serves a recreational function. The Opplev Dalane (Explore Dalane) hiking path runs past the lake, and an open hut for hikers opened in December 2007 at Imeseid. The lake also has a sandy beach.^[5][6]
