Rhododendron Pond

Rhododendron Pond is a three-acre pocket tucked into the woods near Keene — small enough that it won't show up on most trail maps, quiet enough that it holds its place as a local footnote rather than a destination. No fish data on record, no formal access route advertised by DEC, and the name suggests someone either found blooms near the shore or wished they had. Ponds this size in the Keene drainage tend to sit on old logging roads or connector trails between more trafficked routes — worth knowing about if you're already in the area, not worth the drive if you're not.
