A beautifully maintained walkway (Bruksdammen) with benches is available. The small island has two shelters with fire pits and even a wheelchair-accessible restroom.

Nice shelter by the lake! The shelter is well equiped with a saw, an axe, buckets as well as a picnic table. There is a fireplace right in front of the shelter as well as a separate firepit down by the water. There is a small outhouse behind the shelter and another one located a few hundred meters north along the trail, when crossing the small gravel road. There is a small swimming spot along the shore just south of the shelter.

Mörtsjön is a nice but small lake surrounded by pretty dense forest on all sides. The few meters of clear ground around the water is wet and swampy, but it is possible to walk on and to reach the open water.

Lovely lake with several shelters, fireplaces and picnic tables. There is also a handicap outhouse as well as a supposedly wheelchair accessible path leading to the shelter area. Highly recommended, but also close to Hälleforsnäs town and can be busy at times.
