Swan Lake (Tlingit: X̱'wáat' Héen Áakʼu),[3] is a small lake located in the center of the town of Sitka, in 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.
