The Lake Murchison is a reservoir in the northwest of the Australian state of Tasmania , about 13 km southeast of Rosebery . It lies in the course of the Murchison River .
The southeast part of the lake lies in the Cradle Mountain Lake St. Clair National Park , while the northwest part borders the Granite Tor Conservation Area in the east .
Some of the water from this reservoir is channeled through the Sophia Tunnel into the Sophia River and thus into Lake Mackintosh , where it is used to generate electricity at the Mackintosh power station .
