Lake Guthridge is a small artificial lake in Sale, Victoria, Australia.[1] It is named after the first Sale mayor, Nehemiah Guthridge.
The lake was originally a bog but Guthridge suggested converting it into a lake to supply the growing population. Its sister, Lake Guyatt acts as overflow. It is however described as an ornamental lake.[2]
