Lillypad Pond is a 4-acre pocket water in the Keene backcountry — small enough that it likely lives up to its name by midsummer, when emergent vegetation claims the shallows and the open water shrinks to a center channel. No fish species on record, which in Adirondack terms usually means either the pond winters out (freezes to the bottom, killing fish) or it was never stocked and lacks inlet flow robust enough to support natural reproduction. Worth checking local trail registers or the DEC Region 5 office in Ray Brook for access details — ponds this size in the Keene area are often reached by unmarked footpaths or old logging roads rather than maintained trailheads.
