The Häggsjön lake is surrounded by dense reeds, but there is a tiny jetty that barely reaches the edge of the reeds, but is enough to get to the water and even swim if you're not too picky. The shelter itself is nice and offers a fireplace as well as a bench. The surrounding ground is quite overrun by ants. A little bit west of the shelter is a small path that leads to an outhouse.

Ljusgryten seems to be a fishing oriented lake with many small jettys along the sides as well as some basic shelters. Most jettys are pretty high up from the water and not really good for swimming from. There are also a few spots with benches and fireplaces.
