Børgefjell National Park is an inaccessible and undeveloped national park in Norway, straddling the border between Nord-Trøndelag and Nordland, with a border to Sweden. The landscape varies from dramatic peaks of dark granite, creating a desolate feeling, and grey mountains with little vegetations, to fertile mountain slopes and marshes. There are many lakes, ponds, and raging rivers. Waterlands offer a rich diversity of birds, and wolverine and Arctic fox are indigenous.

The park is for the most part a reservation, with few trails or other facilities for visitors. Hiking in the area is mostly easy, and visitors can hike for extended periods without seeing another person.
