Lake Mohegan, commonly known as Mohegan Lake,[2][3][4][5] is a census-designated place (CDP) located in the Town of Yorktown in Westchester County, New York, United States.
There is a private[6][7] lake, Mohegan Lake,[8] also known as "Lake Mohegan",[9] with beaches[10] which are occasionally closed for swimming due to harmful algal blooms.[11][12]
The town was home to several former summer bungalow colonies in the 1950s and 1960s. They included the Skyview Colony and Lakeview Colony off U.S. Route 6.[13][14]
