The Faxälven (also Faxälv ) is a Swedish river that flows in a south-easterly direction from Jämtland to Ångermanland , where it flows into the Ångermanälven after about 340 kilometers at Sollefteå .
It flows from the lakes Leipikvattnet and Stora Blåsjön on the Norwegian border through the lake system of Ströms Vattudal into the lake Sporrsjön , where it loses about 18 percent of its water through a second outflow, the river Vängelälven . This river bifurcation takes place within the Ångermanälven river system, as the Vängelälven is a tributary of the Fjällsjöälven , another tributary of the Ångermanälven. The Faxälven drains an area of 22,500 km² and has an average water flow of 145 m³ / s. The towns of Strömsund and Ramsele are on the Faxälven .
