Luktvatnet is a lake that lies in the northern part of the municipality of Vefsn in Nordland county, Norway. The 3.76km2 lake lies between the mountains Korgfjellet and Lukttinden, about south of the village of Elsfjord. The European route E6 highway passes along the northern shore of the lake.[1]

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".
