Hadlock Pond, also known as Lake Hadlock or Sunderland Pond,[2] is a small man-made reservoir[2][3] formed on a tributary of Halfway Creek in the town of Fort Ann[4] in Washington County, New York, United States.[2]

Constructed in 1896, the original dam was of earthen construction, or rock fill. It had a height of 29 feet (8.8 m), with a width of 850 feet (260 m).[3] The dam was reconstructed in 2005, only to collapse months later, flooding and damaging nearby property.[1]

The pond is owned by the town of Fort Ann, and is primarily used for recreational purposes.[3] The pond has a surface area of 220 acres (0.89 km2).[1]
