Gilten is a lake in the municipality of Steinkjer (with a small part crossing into neighboring Namdalseid) in Trøndelag county, Norway. The 31.62-square-kilometre (12.21 sq mi) lake lies in the northern part of Steinkjer, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast of the village of Kvam, about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) north of the village of Følling (and the European route E6 highway), and about 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) east of the village of Namdalseid. The lake is only accessible by road from Namdalseid, even though most of the 31.62-square-kilometre (12.21 sq mi) lake lies in Steinkjer.[1] The lake Bangsjøan lies to the northeast and the lake Snåsavatnet lies to the south.
