Lockart Pond is a six-acre pond in the town of Keene — small enough that it doesn't pull the foot traffic of the named-peak destinations nearby, but large enough to hold water through a dry August. No fish species on record, which usually means it's either too shallow for consistent overwinter survival or it's simply been passed over by DEC survey crews in favor of more productive waters. The pond sits in mixed hardwood forest typical of the Keene valley floor — private land surrounds most small ponds in this area, so assume limited or no public access unless you've confirmed a trailhead or easement. Worth a knock on a door if you're looking for a quiet float; otherwise, this one stays off the typical paddler's map.
