Walden Pond State Reservation
Let a visit to Walden Pond bring you back in time to the mid-1800's. Experience the connection with nature that inspired Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Enjoy a day of swimming, walking around the famous pond or boating out on the water. The state of Massachusettes does not provide any accessible swimming options at Walden Pond State Reservation. If you want to help make sure everyone can swim here, please reach out to local and state government.
