About Lake Margaret
The Lake Margaret Dam is a concrete-faced gravity dam across the Yolande River, located on the north side of Mount Sedgwick, in the West Coast Range, West Coast of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1918 by the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company for the purpose of generating hydro-electric power, the impounded reservoir has the eponymous name of Lake Margaret. Water from the reservoir is supplied to the Lake Margaret Power Station, located below the dam wall.
