Otta (river)
The Otta river flows through the Ottadal valley in the municipalities of Skjåk, Lom, Vågå and Sel in Norway.
The river Otta begins in Skjåk municipality and flows into lake Vågåvatn. Exiting the Vågåvatn at Vågåmo, it continues its journey through the Ottadal leaving Vågå municipality to meet the Gudbrandsdalslågen at the town Otta in Sel municipality.
The watershed of the Otta drains an area of 3,948 square kilometres (1,524 sq mi).
The Otta River is known for rafting. The rafting season begins in mid-May and lasts until the end of September.
Name
The name of the river is probably derived from the Norse verb ótta 'scare, terrify'. The water of the river comes from glaciers, and the flooding of the river can be strong and fierce.

Wide River
by: Steve MillerWide river
She opens her mouth to the sea
Singing dear, dear ocean, now
Here is a kiss from me
And she runs like a river to the setting sun
She runs like a river that has never been won
She runs like a river that will always be free
Wide river
Carry me back home
To the place I love
That I call my own
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
Wide river
Do you remember me
It was not so long ago
That you set me free
And now I run like a river to the setting sun
I run like a river that has never been won
I run like a river that will always be free Come on baby
Let's run in circles
Come on darling let's circle each other
And find the love, all the love that we need
Come on baby, let's circle each other
Well, we can do, do for each other
I'll do for you, and you'll do for me
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
