Keene Pond Walk

  • Route 73, Keene Valley

Hike Features

Ponds / Lakes

The pond walk is simply a small beaver pond located behind the Keene Central School, and close to one of the most popular trailheads in the area.

Key takeaways

  • Distance: 0.5 miles round trip
  • Elevation gain: Less than 25 feet
  • Hike includes trail junctions and a bridge

Hiking around Keene Pond

From the trailhead you will have to cross a long bridge over a beaver flow. The trail register is immediately after the bridge. About 0.1 miles further you will come to the pond. A trail leads all the way around the pond. This is an excellent scenic destination for birding, wildlife viewing, and a short peaceful stroll. Blueberry Mountain and Porter's Ridge loom off in the distance.

Keene Pond in the winter

While this would be a nice destination for an introduction to snowshoeing for little children, the actual loop gets only moderate attention from users.
