Lake Tuggeranong is an artificial lake in the Canberra district of Tuggeranong. The lake was built in 1987 coinciding with urban development in the district. The lake was built as a sediment trap to stop sediment from entering the Murrumbidgee River.
The lake is a popular recreational site. The foreshore of the lake is parkland, with swimming, fishing, wind-surfing and non-motorised boating all possible activities on the lake. A bicycle path surrounds the lake. On the edge of the lake is the Tuggeranong library, Lake Tuggeranong College and the Tuggeranong Arts Centre.
