**Lake Beatrice** is a 55-hectare (140-acre) natural lake on the lower eastern side of [Mount Sedgwick](/source/Mount_Sedgwick_(Tasmania)) in the [West Coast Range](/source/West_Coast_Range) of [Western Tasmania](/source/Western_Tasmania), Australia.[1][2]

Lake Beatrice is higher in altitude than the nearby [Lake Burbury](/source/Crotty_Dam#Reservoir); however, it is not visible from that level, but can be seen either from the air or the higher slopes of the eastern part of [Mount Lyell](/source/Mount_Lyell_(Tasmania)) or the upper levels of Mount Sedgwick. The lake is fed and drained by the Dante Rivulet.[3]

The lake was a reference point for the planned [Great Western Railway](/source/Great_Western_Railway_(Tasmania)) that was considered at the end of the nineteenth century; however was never built.[4]

The name of the lake and adjacent ground is tied into exploration leases held in the area.[5][6]

The 3,000-hectare (7,400-acre) Lake Beatrice Conservation Area starts in the location of Lake Beatrice and continues north to Lake Huntley and Lake Rolleston;[7] and it is bordered on either side by the 14,000-hectare (35,000-acre) Tyndall Regional Reserve.[8][9]
