Foster Pond, located in South Bridgton was named after the Foster family who set up saw and grist mills on the outlet in the early 1800s. The pond is also sometimes called Ingalls Pond, which refers to another prominent family during Bridgton’s early history. Surface Area: 149 acres Maximum Depth: 28 feet Watershed : 1,090 acres Elevation: 470 feet Volume: 2,382 acres/feet Foster Pond provides good habitat for species such as smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and chain pickerel. Although the pond is annually stocked with brook trout from state hatcheries, it is poorly suited for coldwater species as the entire water column becomes quite warm during the late summer.
