Lake Dora is a lake and also short-lived mining area of the late 1890s located in the West Coast Range of Western Tasmania. Located east of the Mount Tyndall area, it was the site of a transient gold-mining rush in the late 1890s. Lake Dora is not generally accessible by road, but only via trails or by helicopter. It is in a wilderness area set aside by the government.
Charles Whitham wrote of the mining rush: Lake Dora, Royal Dora, Lady Dora, North Dora, and, of course Dora Reward. The Government put in a good track from Mount Read, with a telephone line (1897).
