'''Voxnan''' ({{IPA|sv|ˈvɔ̂ksnan}})<ref>{{cite book|url=https://runeberg.org/ortnamn/0031.html|author1=Jöran Sahlgren|author2=Gösta Bergman|title=Svenska ortnamn med uttalsuppgifter|language=sv|year=1979|page=27}}</ref> is a [[river]] in [[Hälsingland]], [[Sweden]]. It passes through the provinces of [[Härjedalen]] and [[Dalarna]] as well, albeit these sections are only a small part of the river, with it mainly being in Hälsingland. It stretches for 150 kilometers, originating from the lake [[Siksjön]] in Härjedalen with its mouth being the lake [[Varpen]], which is a part of the river [[Ljusnan]].
==Hydropower==
The upper portion of the Voxnan does not have any hydroelectric power station hindering its path, making it an important nature conservation area as such is quite rare for a rivers in the area.<ref>Värdefull natur i Gävleborg. Naturvårdsprogram. Länsstyrelsen Gävleborg. Rapport 1997:12. sid. 404</ref> Although as the river starts to pass increasingly populated areas the amount of dams and powerstations start to increase, with a total of 10 producing on average 162 GWh.<ref>https://vattenkraft.info/?what=Voxnan</ref>
