Domes At Catskills
Quick Facts
Why Swan Lake & the Catskills
Swan Lake sits in the Catskills’ historic Borscht Belt, made famous by the 1987 film “Dirty Dancing,” about two hours from New York City. The town takes its name not from swans but from Alden Swan, a Brooklyn businessman who purchased the lake around the turn of the century; today it draws anglers fishing for black bass, sunfish, and pike, plus visitors to the quirky Miniature Stone Castle on the lakefront.
Domes at Catskills sits directly on the lake, with included canoes and kayaks and dome interiors stocked well enough to earn constant five-star praise from reviewers.
