Lake Belwood is a reservoir in East Garafraxa, Dufferin County and Centre Wellington, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. It is on the Grand River, whose waters were impounded in 1942 by the erection of the Shand Dam for flood control and the generation of hydroelectricity.{{cite web|url= http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cfm?Sec=27&Sub1=119|title= Belwood Lake Conservation Area|publisher= Grand River Conservation Authority|accessdate= 2010-07-03|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20061016202330/http://www.grandriver.ca/index/document.cfm?Sec=27&Sub1=119|archive-date= 2006-10-16|url-status= dead}} The community of Belwood is on the north shore of the lake, and only the easternmost portion of the lake is in Dufferin County.
