About Rago National Park
Rago National Park (Norwegian: Rago nasjonalpark) is a national park in Sørfold Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The 171-square-kilometre (66 sq mi) park lies east of European route E6, about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) northeast of the village of Straumen. The park was established on 22 January 1971. Rago borders Sweden's Padjelanta National Park, which in turn borders two other parks, and the combined of all the protected land is a total of ca. 5,400 square kilometres (2,100 sq mi)—creating one of the largest protected areas in Europe. The lakes Storskogvatnet and Litlverivatnet lie within the park.
