Foster Pond was named after the Foster family, who set up saw and grist mills on the outlet in the early 1800s. The pond’s other name, Ingalls Pond, refers to another prominent family during Bridgton’s early history.

Foster Pond provides good habitat for species such as smallmouth bass, yellow perch, and chain pickerel. Although the pond is annually stocked with brook trout from state hatcheries, it is poorly suited for coldwater species as the entire water column becomes quite warm during the late summer. Foster Pond also has populations of hornpout, smelt, and fallfish.
General fishing laws apply. Motorboats over 10 horsepower are prohibited.
