Skorovatn[2] is a village in Namsskogan Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway.

Skorovatn is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of the main European route E6 highway that crosses Namsskogan Municipality.

[3] The Skorovas Gruber mine was the first in Norway to exploit a sulphide ore deposit and produced zinc and copper.

[4][5][6] The mine discharged tailings into a nearby lake, but the contamination from this process has been deemed relatively slight.

Before its closing, virtually everyone that lived in and around Skorovatn worked directly or indirectly for the mining operation.
