About
The Arthurs Lake Dam is a rock-filled embankment dam across the Lake River, located between the small settlements of Wilburville and Morass Bay, in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1965, the resultant reservoir, Arthurs Lake, was established for the purpose of generating hydro-electric power via the Tods Corner Power Station, the only pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations located in Tasmania. The dam and power station are part of the Great Lake and South Esk catchment. The dam, reservoir and power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania.
