Luktvatnet^[2] is a lake that lies in the northern part of Vefsn Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 3.76-square-kilometre (1.45 sq mi) lake lies between the mountains Korgfjellet and Lukttinden, about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of the village of Elsfjord. The European route E6 highway passes along the northern shore of the lake.^[3]

Name

The name is probably from the Southern Sami language word Loektejaevrie. This is a compound of loekti which means "inlet" and jaevrie which means "lake", thus it is "the lake with many inlets".
