'''Folda'''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Informasjon om stadnamn |url=https://stadnamn.kartverket.no/fakta/269214 |access-date=2024-11-07 |website=Norgeskart |publisher=[[Norwegian Mapping Authority|Kartverket]] |language=no}}</ref> is a [[firth]] and a [[fjord]] in [[Trøndelag]] county, [[Norway]]. It is located within [[Flatanger Municipality]], [[Namsos Municipality]], and [[Nærøysund Municipality]]. The large wide firth is about {{convert|50|km}} long which then narrows into a [[fjord]] which is about {{convert|75|km}} long. The narrower fjord part of Folda is often called the ''Foldfjorden'' or ''Innerfolda''. Most of the fjord is very narrow, some places with steep cliffs. It has the largest length to width factor among Norway's fjords. The fjord is crossed by the [[Norwegian County Road 17]] road using the [[Folda Bridge]] at the village of [[Foldereid]]. [[Spruce]] forests cover most areas around the fjord. The outer-Folda area is notorious for its rough seas and has been called an "ocean graveyard" ({{langx|no|havets kirkegård}}).<ref name="snl">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Folda – Foldfjorden |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/Folda_-_Foldfjorden |date=2011-12-19 |editor-last=Rosvold |editor-first=Knut A. |language=Norwegian |accessdate=2018-04-16}}</ref>
