Dove Lake, Alpine lake in Cradle Mountain National Park, Tasmania, Australia

Dove Lake is a glacial corrie lake in the northern part of Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania, at 934 m elevation and covering 0.86 km². It stretches north to south, with Cradle Mountain rising at its southern end and the Honeymoon Islands group just offshore there. The Dove River leaves the lake at its northern tip.

Dove Lake was named by Gustav Weindorfer, a prominent local figure, after an official of the Van Diemen's Land Company. Like several other lakes in the region, it was formed by glaciation. It lies in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness UNESCO World Heritage area.

The lake was named by Gustav Weindorfer, a local figure, after an official of the Van Diemen's Land Company. The vegetation around the shore includes the Tasmanian deciduous beech (Nothofagus gunnii), tussock grasses, snow gums and pencil pines. Wombats, echidnas, pademelons and tiger snakes are often seen along the shores.

The Dove Lake Circuit is a 5.7 km loop that takes about 2 hours. A shuttle bus runs between the Cradle Mountain Visitors Centre, 8 km north, and the car park by the lake near Ronny Creek. The track is well maintained and also leads up onto Cradle Mountain.

Dove Lake was named by Gustav Weindorfer, a local figure, after an official of the Van Diemen's Land Company. The lake drains north through the Dove River, which flows into the River Forth and on to Bass Strait. Brown trout live in the water, and the fishing season runs from August to April.
