Isteren is a lake in Engerdal Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The 29-square-kilometre (11 sq mi) lake lies to the southwest of the large lake Femund and about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northwest of the village of Drevsjø.

Isteren is a nutritious lake with a large diversity of species.[2] It is a popular fishing area, and the chances for the good catch is certainly present. In the summer of 2006, a trout weighing 9.25 kilograms (20.4 lb) was caught with a rod from a small boat. It is also rich in whitefish, pike, perch, grayling, burbot and herring.[3] Around the lake there are two fish mounds and some single cabins.[2]

The river Sømåa, originating from lake Langsjøen, flows into Isteren from the north. It is a river with a rich bird life, especially in the spring. Here one can observe rare species of migrating birds.[citation needed]
