About
Kedträsket is a lake in Norsjö Municipality, province of Västerbotten, Sweden, and is part of the Skellefteälven main catchment area. The lake covers an area of 2.2 square kilometers and has an elevation of 221.4 meters above sea level. Its drainage is facilitated by the watercourse Bjurbäcken.Kedträsket is divided along its length by the long eskers known here as Burvallsnäsan and Stornäsan, which then becomes Ljussträskkammen and Norakammen, continuing towards Ånäset. The lake is just over five kilometers long and 750 meters wide at Storsundet, where the two parts of the lake meet. Even at Båthalsen, where Stornäsan is barely 20 meters wide and very low, it has long been possible to pull boats across. The lake's only island is called Bäckerholmen.
Not all parts of the lake have official names, but among those that do, in addition to Storsundet, notable ones include Abborrviken, Lomviken, Bladsundet, Inre Storvommen, Yttre Storvommen, Nörd-Skråmhålet, Sör-Skråmhålet, Lillsundet, and Eriksvensaviken. Today, the lake belongs to Bjurträsk FVO and offers free fishing. Perch, northern pike, common roach, lavaret and burbot are some of the fish species that can be found in the lake.
