context_page_description: Lake Burbury is a man-made water reservoir created by the Crotty Dam inundating the upper King River valley that lies east of the West Coast Range. Discharge from the reservoir feeds the John Butters Hydroelectric Power Station, owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania.
  The reservoir was named in honour of Stanley Burbury, a former Governor of Tasmania.
context_section_description: The lake lies to the west of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park and has a series of buffer zone conservation areas; the Princess River Conservation Area and the Crotty Conservation Area on the east shore, and the West Coast Range Regional Reserve on the west.  The Hydro Tasmania jurisdiction of the lake is to the 242-metre (794 ft) elevation (the full supply level being 235 metres (771 ft)) round the edge of the lake, as well as the island created by the impoundment.
  A webcam is located on the south east shore of the lake which looks across to where the Lyell Highway emerges from the Linda Valley and moves south around the eastern base of Mount Owen.
