Review & FAQ:
Walden Pond is a famous lake in Concord, Massachusetts. The lake was formed by glaciers more than 10,000 years ago and today is preserved on protected land in the Walden Pond State Reservation. The lake is well known in popular culture because writer Henry David Thoreau lived on its northern shore for two years where he wrote Walden, which subsequently made the pond famous.
During the summertime, the lake is a popular swimming destination with sections of beach around the lake, including one that is quite popular. Other activities on offer include boating, picnicking, fishing, and hiking. There is also a reproduction of Thoreau’s cabin available for touring. Walden Pond Map
