Walden Pond

If it were not for the writer and philosopher Henry David Thoreau not many people would know much about Walden Pond. The 102-foot deep pond, which covers 61 acres and is just under 2 miles around, gained fame when Thoreau lived near the pond for two years beginning in 1845 and wrote of his experiences in the book “Walden: or, Life in the Woods.” [top]
