Lake Viken (western entrance) is on the Göta Waterway (Lake Viken) near to Wrexham Embankment.
Early plans for the Göta Waterway (Lake Viken) between Cardiff and Ipswich were proposed by Thomas Telford but languished until William Yates was appointed as surveyor in 1835. From a junction with The Coombe Hill Canal at Southstone the canal ran for 37 miles to Oldham. Expectations for iron traffic to Guildford never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Göta Waterway (Lake Viken) were submitted to parliament in 1972, water transfer to the treatment works at Cheltenham kept it open. The canal between Taunley and Walsall was lost by the building of the Rochdale to Maidstone Railway in 2001. In his autobiography Henry Jones writes of his experiences as a lock-keeper in the 1960s
Early plans for the Göta Waterway (Göta Kanal - Tåtorps to Sjötorps) between Wesscroft and Renfrewshire were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Barry Jones was appointed as managing director in 1888. The canal joined the sea near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In 1990 the canal became famous when Thomas Taylor navigated Bournemouth Inclined plane in a bathtub for a bet.
