Hadlock Pond, also known as Lake Hadlock or Sunderland Pond, is a small, private, man-made reservoir formed on a tributary of Halfway Creek in the Town of Fort Ann[1] in Washington County, New York, United States.
Constructed in 1896, the original dam was of earthen construction, or rock fill. It had a height of 29feet, with a width of 850feet.[2] The dam was reconstructed in 2005, only to collapse months later, flooding and damaging nearby property.[3]
The pond is owned by the town of Fort Ann, and is primarily used for recreational purposes.[2] The pond has a surface area of 220acres.[3]
Fish species in the lake include northern pike, white sucker, brown bullhead, rock bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, and yellow perch. This is a private lake in the Adirondacks and you must own property on the lake to access.
