Belleville Pond

About Belleville Pond

The primary purpose of Belleville Pond is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by North Kingstown, Town Of (local government). It impounds the Annaquatucket River near North Kingstown.

The dam stands 8 feet tall and stretches 600 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 108 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 461 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 8 square miles. Completed in 1800, the structure is one of the older dams in the region, with over a century and a half of service.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. Its condition is rated fair — the dam has minor deficiencies that are being addressed or do not pose an immediate safety threat. An emergency action plan is in place for this dam.
