Forest Lagoon (Skógarböð) opened in 2022 in Vaðlaskógur forest on the eastern shore of Eyjafjörður, about 3.6 km from central Akureyri in North Iceland. Its geothermal water was discovered during construction of the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel connecting Akureyri and Húsavík. The site has two infinity-edge geothermal pools (roughly 530 m² and 330 m²) both kept around 37°C, plus an 11°C cold pool and an 80°C Finnish dry sauna, with views over the fjord and forest.
The hot water supplying Forest Lagoon was found by workers boring the Vaðlaheiðargöng road tunnel through Vaðlaheiði mountain; the spa was subsequently built to make use of the geothermal discovery, opening in 2022.
