There is a small waterfall flowing into the lake that varies in size depending on water levels at certain times of the year.

The Crowe River outflow is on the east side at approximately the middle point of the lake.

Muskie populations which were healthy some years ago have declined due to the non-native Pike species that have made their way into the lake.

Many of the older cottages are still present on Belmont Lake allowing it to maintain its "cottagey" feel.
