Hadley Pond is a 34-acre water in Keene — small enough to feel tucked away, large enough to hold quiet in the afternoon when the wind picks up off the valley floor. No fish data on record, which in the Adirondacks usually means either unstocked or unmaintained, the kind of pond that stays off the angler circuit and on the local-knowledge map. The water sits in working forest and private land, so access isn't guaranteed — worth checking with the town or local outfitters before planning a visit. If you're poking around Keene's back roads and find a pull-off, you've likely found it.
Hawkins Pond is a one-acre pocket of water in the Keene valley — small enough that it likely exists as a seasonal high-water feature or a shallow basin tucked into private land or forested acreage without maintained public access. No fish species data on record, which tracks for waters this size: too small to support a stocked population, too shallow or transient to hold wild brookies year-round. If you're looking for fishable water in Keene proper, the East Branch of the Ausable runs through town with posted access points, and Johns Brook flows north from the High Peaks with trail access from the Garden trailhead.
