Features and location
The dam was built to provide cooling water for the thermal power stations of the Latrobe Valley and to augment domestic water supplies. The Blue Rock Lake has two recreation areas on its shore and small power boats are allowed to be used.
In 1992 Pacific Energy installed a small 2.4 megawatts (3,200 hp) hydroelectric generator that is linked to the national grid.
Jaidyn Leskie's body was found in Blue Rock Lake in January 1998.
