Every named reservoir in the Adirondack Park — flood-control basins, drinking-water sources, and the impoundments anchoring the southern watersheds.
Belfort Pond is a 38-acre reservoir tucked into the Old Forge working landscape — not a wilderness pond, not a backcountry destination, but part of the region's canal and hydro infrastructure that quietly shapes water levels and flow throughout the Fulton Chain. No fish stocking records and no marked public access, which means it functions more as a water-management asset than a recreational body. The reservoir sits in that middle ground between paddle-worthy water and operational utility — visible from area roads but not promoted, not maintained for day use. If you're mapping Old Forge's hydraulic backbone or cataloging every named water in the park, Belfort earns a pin; if you're planning a weekend trip, this one stays off the list.
