Lake Lax is located at Billingsfors and just south of Bengtsfors. The lake is part of the Dalsland Canal's lake system. Several major inflows come from the northern and western parts of the lake. One in Billingsfors from Lelång via Bengtsbrohöljen and the other in Skåpafors which comes from Lake Svärdlång. The Steneby River flows into the western parts of the lake south of Billingsfors. At the southern end of the lake is the Långbron and via the Långbro stream, the water flows to Långbrohöljen (which is also part of the Laxsjön fishing area) on through Mustadfors and to the next lake Råvarpen. Laxsjön's deepest location is about 57 meters.
