So what manner of creature do you suspect would make these kinds of tracks. Notice those straight lines as well... almost like it was dragging a little sled lol

Our pond is split by the driveway and these tracks went from one side of the pond right across the driveway to the other. So at some point it went into the water. Beaver?

They look pretty close to the muskrat tracks seen here...

with nothing for size reference, muskrat or otter. Just can't tell how large or far apart they are.

I would guess that it an otter. The size difference between an otter and a muskrat is considerable. A muskrat tends to walk as compared to jumping. Definetly not a beaver old243

Old timer once told me that was how to tell the difference between a buck and a doe track.

Nobody mentioned two sets of tracks, one set coming, one set going.
