Ticklenaked Pond is a lake in Caledonia County, Vermont, in the United States. ^[1]

"Ticklenaked" is likely a corruption of the Native American (Indian) name. Historian John C. Huden wrote:

It is very doubtful that this hilarious name is of Indian origin; if so, it is possibly a much modified Delaware word meaning "beaver kittens here." ^[2]
