Walden Pond State Reservation

Henry David Thoreau lived in a cabin at Walden Pond from July 1845 to September 1847, keeping a journal of his thoughts and his encounters with nature and society. He collected and revised these observations during the next seven years and published them in the book, Walden. This book is credited with helping to inspire awareness and respect for the natural environment. Because of Thoreau's legacy, Walden Pond has been designated a National Historic Landmark and is considered the birthplace of the conservation movement. Park Interpreters provide tours and ongoing educational programs.

Visitors are welcome to swim, picnic, hike, use canoes and rowboats, fish, ski-tour and snowshoe. However, fires, camping, pets, off-road vehicles, motorcycles, novelty flotation devices, boats powered by internal combustion engines and wind-powered sail craft are all prohibited.
