Lake Pieman

　　Lake Pieman is a dammed lake located near Rosebery in western Tasmania, formed by the Tasmanian Hydro-Electric Commission when they built a dam on the Pieman River. Rosebery is a mining town situated about 335 kilometres (approximately 5 hours’ drive) northwest of Hobart.

　　Located to the west of Rosebery, Lake Pieman has a long, narrow shape with crystal-clear water that glistens under the sunlight. The area around the lake boasts beautiful natural scenery, with many wild trees and flowers. Like all lakes managed by Hydro Tasmania, Lake Pieman is home to abundant, well-fed trout as well as other fish species. There are multiple ways to enjoy the lake—you can leisurely go boating to take in the scenic beauty of the lake and its surroundings, fish by the shore, or have a picnic or barbecue on the banks. You can also explore the Pieman River by water, taking a cruise from the town of Corinna.
