Sylvan Lake is located next to the community by that name in the Town of Beekman, New York, United States. It is the deepest and second-largest lake in Dutchess County.〔Burns, David; Vasilakos, Lisa and Oestrike, Rick; , Dutchess County Environmental Management Council and Fishkill Creek Watershed Committee, June 2005, 22. Retrieved April 21, 2010〕 It is a popular local recreation spot. Many summer camps are located along it, as well as a large private campground. ==Geography== It is an irregular rounded shape, with a surface area, located near the town's southwestern border with East Fishkill. High unnamed hills rise to to its northeast, above the lake. The unincorporated hamlet of Sylvan Lake is located to its southeast and east. Dutchess County Route 10 runs northwest from the hamlet along the lakeshore, providing access to the nearby Taconic State Parkway via the NY 82 state highway at Arthursburg. To the southwest are lower hills. The lake's unnamed outlet brook flows at first northward through a 〔 wetland between two smaller hills at that end but soon turns southward, carrying the drainage from the lake and its basin south a few miles to Fishkill Creek. From there it reaches the Hudson River at Beacon.〔 The lake is located adjacent to the Chelsea Cove housing complex and all its residents are permitted access to the lake. There is a small beach with a small area to wade in before it drops off into much deeper waters. Sylvan Lake Beach Park, a privately operated campground, is located along another shore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dutchesscountycampground.com/ )〕 The remainder of the shoreline is owned by private residences and summer camps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sylvan Lake (New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
