The park is situated on a plateau directly overlooking the Smotrych River canyon, which reaches depths of up to 50 meters.
The water body in the park is an artificial basin designed to manage local drainage while creating an urban wetland micro-environment.
The canyon surrounding the area is a protected natural monument due to its rare Silurian limestone geological formations.
Лебединое озеро (Swan Lake) is a landscaped public park located in the historic center of Kamianets-Podilskyi. The area is defined by its artificial pond, which serves as a sanctuary for local bird populations, including swans and ducks. The park layout features a network of paved pedestrian paths, mature deciduous trees, and benches. It functions as a primary recreational green space for residents, integrated into the urban fabric near the city's main administrative and historical districts. The site provides a direct viewing platform over the deep Smotrych River canyon, a unique geological feature of the city. While the pond is the namesake and central focal point, the park also includes small flowerbeds and ornamental shrubbery.

The paths can be slippery after rain; wear stable, closed-toe footwear.
Do not attempt to descend into the canyon from the park perimeter; stick strictly to marked paths for safety.
Do not feed the birds bread or processed food, as it is harmful to their health.
