Rore[2] is a lake and reservoir in Agder county, Norway. This lake lies mostly in Grimstad Municipality, but the northeastern end crosses over into the neighboring Arendal Municipality. There is a public beach area at the southern end of the lake, near the village of Roresand. The lake is located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the center of the town of Grimstad.[3][4]
The lake Syndle flows into Rore from the east and the water from Rore flows out into the river Nidelva at the northern end. The 7.76-square-kilometre (3.00 sq mi) lake has an elevation of 39 metres (128 ft) above sea level.
