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.

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]
