The region is not developed for tourism but is a recognised destination for hunting and fishing. There is no history in the region for mining although until recently there was a substantial paper pulp plant at Salsbruket which attracted a wide range of skilled people to the area. This plan was destroyed by fire in the 1980's.
All major services are available in the region including hydro-electricity which is generated locally.
