About
Swan Lake (Tlingit: X̱’wáat’ Héen Áakʼu), is a small lake located in the center of the town of Sitka, Alaska. It is a man-made lake, created during the Russian occupation of Alaska as an income source during the winter. Russians would export ice to southern communities in the Pacific Northwest. The crew of the USS Dixon AS-37 built improvements in June 1988.
Swan Lake contains rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and dolly varden. There is a small dock to fish from located on the east side of the lake.
