The former Nordanstig Canoe Route ustleden is the finish line for the paddle water which was formerly known as Nordanstigsleden.
As it has not been upkept as a canoe route since the middle of the 90s, paddlers must trust maps, directions and "allemansrätten", or right of common.
That doesn’t mean the nature experience will be any less, perhaps the opposite...
The route is approximately 60 kilometres in total and has many different types of water.
Large and small lakes, narrow creeks and rushing rapids make the trip diverse and fun.
It's quite a demanding trip with about 15 lifts and/or portages, but the effort is well worth it and it can be good to stretch your legs every now and then. A canoe cart can come in very handy.
The entire trip can be done in two days of just paddling, but three days is better. Many choose to take even more time so they may enjoy the breathtaking nature of Hälsingland and do a bit of fishing and swimming.
It's also possible to paddle certain parts of the route. Some popular launching spots are Hasselasjön, Älgered and Bergsjö.
The last part, from Harmånger to Kustleden is a beautiful, and at times very exciting trip, which requires at least four hours to complete.
The water level determines how doable certain sections are - as a rule, the more water, the more fun.
We have divided the former Nordanstigsleden into four parts which are described in picture files to the right.
