The Follaelva river empties into the Trondheimsfjord at Follafoss. The lakes Holden and Selavatnet both feed the river and also provide power through the Nord-Trøndelag Elektrisitetsverk power company through hydroelectric power from the dams on the lakes.

The 0.7-square-kilometre (170-acre) village has a population (2024) of 373 and a population density of 533 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,380/sq mi).[1]

Follafoss Church is located in the village. There is a pulp mill in the village, MMK FollaCell A.S., which is the largest employer in the area.[4]
