Nodlandsvatnet is a lake in the municipality of Eigersund in Rogaland county, Norway.[1] It is located about east of the town of Egersund. The 3.95km2 lake is a major reservoir for the local energy company Dalane Energi, and has a capacity of 20000000m2, the second largest in the area after the lake Spjodevatnet with 24000000m2.[2]

The lake also serves a recreational function. The Opplev Dalane (Explore Dalane) hiking path runs past the lake, and an open hut for hikers opened in December 2007 at Imeseid. The lake also has a sandy beach.[3] [4]
