The Guthega Pondage is one of the 15 in the Snowy Mountains Scheme accumulated power generation artificial lakes. The lake is essentially fed by the Snowy River , which flows west of the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales , Australia . The Guthega settlement above the reservoir can be reached from Jindabyne via a side street of the cul-de-sac to the Charlotte Pass (distance approx. 33 km). The Guthega Pondage is 1585 m high and thus already above the tree line .
In addition to the Snowy River, two streams also flow, u. a. the Spencer's Creek , into the reservoir.
