The Folda or Folla is a fjord in Nordland county, Norway. The fjord is located in the municipalities of Bodø, Steigen, and Sørfold. The Folda empties into the Vestfjorden about 40 kilometres (25 mi) northeast of the town of Bodø. The fjord is about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) wide in the west where it joins the Vestfjorden between the Kjerringøy and Leiranger peninsulas.
The Folda fjord has many fjord arms which split off from the main fjord. There are two main inland branches: the Nordfolda (in Steigen Municipality) and the Sørfolda (in Bodø and Sørfold municipalities). The fjord is about 60 kilometres (37 mi) long, including the fjord arms that branch off the main fjord.[1]
