The Lake King William is a lake in the west of the Australian state of Tasmania .
It is located at the northeast end of the Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park . The Derwent River flows through it and takes in the Navarre River and this the Little Navarre River . To the southwest of the lake is the Guelf Basin , a secondary lake that is connected to the main part of the lake by a narrow, short channel.
The lake and the King William Range to the west (with the mountains King William I , King William II and King William III - from north to south) were named after Dutch kings.
The water draining from the lake is routed through the Butlers Gorge Power Station to generate electricity.
