The one located at Lennartsfors connects it to Lake Foxen, the one at Gustavsfors to Lake Västra Silen and the one at Bengtsfors to Lake Bengtsbrohöljen. In addition to this the lake stands in open connection to Lake Ärtingen 5 km (3 Mi) North of Bengtsfors. Lake Lelång forms part of Dalsland Canal.
