Cranberry Pond is a 2-acre water in the Keene backcountry — small enough that most topo maps label it but most hikers walk past it en route to something taller. The name suggests the usual sphagnum-and-heath shoreline common to glacial kettle ponds in this part of the Park, and the acreage puts it in that category of ponds that exist more as waypoints than destinations. No fish data on record, which tracks for waters this size and this remote — if it holds brookies, they're small and the population is marginal. Worth a look if you're already in the area and curious what a 2-acre Adirondack pond looks like when no one's paying attention.
