It is located in the Central Highlands of Tasmania south of Lyell Highway, connected to Brady's Lake by Woodwards Canal.[2]

It is an area where holiday shacks have been made on crown land.[3]

Bronte Park, the location north of this lake, on the other side of the Lyell Highway, was in the late 1940s and early 1950s a Hydro Tasmania construction village for the Nive Development (later known as the Tarraleah Power Development)[4]

[de] Bronte Lagoon

Bronte Lagoon ist ein Stausee in der Mitte des australischen Bundesstaates Tasmanien, der 1953 durch Hydro Tasmania zusammen mit den Stauseen Bradys Lake, Lake Binney und Tungatinah Lagoon als Wasserreservoir für das südlich gelegene Wasserkraftwerk Tungatinah Power Station am Fluss Nive River angelegt wurde. Die Bronte Lagoon liegt im zentralen Hochland von Tasmanien südlich des Lyell Highway (A10) etwa vier Kilometer südlich der kleinen Ortschaft Bronte Park. Der Stausee wurde durch die Errichtung eines 10,7 Meter hohen Damms am Woodwards Creek realisiert, der die natürliche Entwässerung des ursprünglichen Sumpfes (Woodwards Marsh) war.
