Dix Pond is a five-acre pocket water in the Keene township — small enough that it doesn't anchor a trail system or pull weekend traffic, but it carries the name of one of the range's signature peaks. The pond sits in working forest land where access and use patterns shift with ownership and season; it's the kind of water that shows up on the DEC's official list but rarely in trip reports. No fish stocking records on file, no lean-tos, no designated campsites — this is map-and-compass country, not trailhead-to-destination hiking. If you're looking for Dix Mountain, you want the Round Pond / Slide Brook Lean-to trailhead off Route 73; Dix Pond is a different story entirely.
