Franklin Falls Pond is a 439-acre (178 ha), 2.7-mile-long (4.3 km) pond created by damming the Saranac River three miles (4.8 km) northeast of Lower Saranac Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State.

The pond is also part of the 740-mile (1,190 km) Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which begins in Old Forge, NY and ends in Fort Kent, ME.

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.

Today all that remains of the hamlet is a more modern hydroelectric dam that holds back the pond.
