Arthurs Lake (Tasmania)

Arthurs Lakes is a Tasmanian combined lake that was created by Hydro Tasmania in the 1920s by damming the Upper Lake River, and Blue Lake and Sand Lake—as well as the Morass marsh.[1]

It is located in the Central Highlands of Tasmania north of Lyell Highway, east of Great Lake.[2]

It is a very popular fishing lake area.[3][4]
