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] which they named due to the lake being located at the Lepreau River's head.[5] 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 additionally been used as a fish hatchery spot, with 20,000 speckled trout being hatched in 1952.[8]
