Øvre Tysdalsvatnet is a lake in the municipality of Hjelmeland in Rogaland county, Norway.[1] The 9km2 lake lies on the east side of the village of Årdal. The 12km (07miles) long lake is only about 800m (2,600feet) wide and it has a fairly steep shoreline, which results in very little habitation around the lake.
The name "Øvre" Tysdalsvatnet means "upper" Tysdalsvatnet to distinguish it from the lake Tysdalsvatnet located about to the southwest.
