With seven lakes and ponds surrounding this idyllic town, the phrase “Heaven on earth” comes to mind! Magnificent experiences on these waterbodies will inspire the creative side of anyone. In fact, the blockbuster film “On Golden Pond” was adapted from a play written by long-time summer resident Ernest Thompson who had spent summers here. Belgrade’s Great Pond was actually his inspiration for the setting of the play! 

  The population of this town more than doubles during the summer months when part-time residents return to open their camps and enjoy some down time from their busy lives elsewhere. And who wouldn’t want to spend summers here? Natural beauty, the small town feeling and friendly people all work together to create an unforgettable experience. Unsurprisingly, the sport of fishing is foremost in the area’s outdoor activities. In the winter months, the area is alive with those enjoying ice fishing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing:  you name it, if it can be done in the snow and ice, there is probably someone doing it here! Visit Belgrade and you too will discover the magic that has the residents proud of their town, and living in a peace that is rare for this day and age!
