Smallwood is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Sullivan County, New York, United States.

A unique feature of the community is that the original home construction materials were locally sourced: Smallwood cabins were constructed of wood lumbered and milled on site, and the distinctive stone fireplaces found in most cabins were built of limestone quarried in Smallwood in the 1920s to 1950s.

In the past few decades, the community has become very diverse, comprising local year-round residents as well as summer-home owners who hail primarily from the New York City metropolitan area and from South Florida.

Municipal tap water for many Smallwood homes is only available on a seasonal basis from April to October.

Only dues paying members of the Association have access to the approximate 65 acre man-made Lake and other facilities owned and operated by the SWCA such the as a beach, tennis and pickelball courts, basketball court, playground, ball field, and Lodge.

While an entity separate from the SWCA, some “Smallwoodians” maintain memberships in both organizations.The Club offers a heated pool and recreational activities in the summer months.

Smallwood residents also have access to the nearby and public, Lake Superior State Park(operated by Sullivan County)and the public Toronto Reservoir, which is adjacent to Smallwood and located at the end of Pine Grove Road.

The Toronto access — permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) allows for swimming and has a public motor-boat launch for fishing and other boating activities.
