White Lily Pond is a 15-acre water tucked into the Keene township — small enough to stay off most hiking itineraries, large enough to hold its own character. The name suggests the kind of aquatic bloom that clusters in shallow bays by mid-July, though whether white lilies still claim the pond or ever did is a question for anyone who bushwhacks in to confirm. No fish stocking records on file, no formal trail designation — this is either a local swim spot with access known by word-of-mouth, or it's a pond best left to the deer and the dragonflies. If you're looking for it, ask at the Keene Library or thetown clerk's office.
