Franklin Falls Pond is a , long pond created by damming the Saranac River three miles (5 km) northeast of Saranac Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State. ==History== The falls at the downstream (northern) end of the pond were the site of a sawmill, a hotel, and a hamlet that grew up around the mill; all were completely destroyed by a fire in 1852. The hotel and the sawmill were rebuilt. Paul Smith, proprietor of Paul Smith's Hotel bought the area around the falls and built a hydroelectric plant, the construction of which flooded , killing a substantial number of trees. The state filed an injunction against the construction, which Smith ignored, leading the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks to bring a suit that was finally settled in 1912, in Smith's favor. Today all that remains of the hamlet is a more modern hydroelectric dam that holds back the pond.
