Ormputten is a pseudo-lake[1] in Södermanland, Sweden. It is slowly retracting, and may soon become a bog. The water surface is very small, fairly round in shape, surrounded by quagmire and strongly acidic with a pH of about 3.9.[2] Situated in the Paradiset nature reserve, it can be reached by easily accessible footpaths.
- ↑ By Swedish definitions, water surfaces smaller than 10 000 m2 are not lakes.
