Osgood Pond is a five hundred acre lake in the hamlet of Paul Smiths, Town of Brighton, Franklin County, New York. It is the site of White Pine Camp, the Summer White House of President Calvin Coolidge, and of the historic Northbrook Lodge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Both were built by Benjamin A. Muncil.
Osgood pond is mesotrophic and circumneutral.[1] It has adequate pH buffering capacity and therefore has low sensitivity to acid rain deposition. Due to its close proximity to State Route 30 it is moderately impacted by road salt pollution, with a total chloride concentration of 9.7 mg/L.
