The lake is acidic but I've seen photos of people swimming in it, which is not recommended.
Posted a photo of the Lake in 2018 taken by youngest son here.
Our visit was the first.

Lake with the tin mine blues!
Little Blue Lake is not far from Derby and Gladstone and is a natural phenomenon resulting from the pioneering mining days of South Mt. Cameron and surrounding areas in the Far North East of Tasmania. Originally a mine hole, the lake reflects a vivid aqua blue from the minerals in it's base.
The lake is acidic but I've seen photos of people swimming in it, which is not recommended.

Little Blue Lake, Tasmania
A little bit about Tasmania, the Island I live on and in..
Tasmania abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as Tassie is an island state of Australia. It's located 240 km (150 mile) to the south of the Australian mainland, separated by Bass Strait.
The state encompasses the main island of Tasmania, the 26th largest island in the world, and the surrounding 334 islands. The state population is approximately 519,166, just over 40% of people live in the Greater Hobart precinct, which forms the metropolitan area of the State Capital and largest city, Hobart.
Tasmania's area is 68,401 km (26,410 sq miles), of which is the main island covers. 64,519 km (24,911 sq miles) promoted as a natural state, protected areas of Tasmania covers about 42% of the land area of the state, which includes National Parks and World Heritage Sites.

The photo below is of the Little Blue Lake which is located in the north eastern area near Gladstone, Tasmania. Photo taken by youngest son as we have never been there, a place to visit in the future. We have been to Gladstone some years ago.
Son left home here at 8.30am and arrived back home at 2.35pm, so it took a fair while to travel in and around that area and back home.
The lake is called Blue Lake due to the minerals it has in it.
