Hiking
Gimodammen was historically created by the construction of artficial dams to the south and east, raising the level of a small natural lake and supplying water power for the use of the Gimo ironmill. The shallow northern part contains floating islands and submerged tree trunks, making it difficult to navigate. Until the mid-20th century the lake was also used for driving logs from the surrounding forests to the furnaces of the ironmill.
There is a public beach area on the eastern side and a well-maintained hiking trail around the lake.
