If you are in any way a book nerd or just love a beautiful and relaxing pond, Walden Pond is definitely somewhere you should visit! Walden Pond is located a little ways outside of the city and we definitely recommend driving out to it. This is the pond where Henry David Thoreau wrote some of his most famous books, including Walden. You can actually explore a replica of Thoreau’s house when he lived in Walden Pond many years ago. The pond is very calming and quiet. Many visitors come to it for a silent walk through the woods like Thoreau practiced while living there.
