Walden Pond


Feel that relaxing view with the Walden Pond. You will prefer to be alone in this quiet, peaceful pond. You will enjoy the time of being by yourself. Thoreau spent two hardscrabble years here listening to a different drummer. The pond, now part of a 304-acre state recreation area, offers swimming, hiking, and communing with nature.
