Disappointment Lake (French : Lac Disappointment; formerly known as Mistake Lake) [2] is a lake located in Charlotte County, New Brunswick. [3] It was additionally known by the Passamaquoddy peoples as Esquagamook, which translates to "End Lake", [4] so named due to the lake being located at the Lepreau River's head. [5]

Contents

Disappointment Lake contains brook trout, American eels, lake chubs, and white suckers. [1]

History

In 1888, parties from Indiantown secured the lake, and improvements were made to the road leading up to it. [6] In the late 1800s, it was leased out and used as a fishing spot. [7] The lake has been used as a fish hatchery spot, with 20,000 speckled trout being hatched in 1952. [8]
