After getting off the bus, walk southeast along Thoreau Street, then turn right at the first major intersection, turn straight on Walden Street, cross a large intersection with traffic lights, and then continue on a short road, on the right is Walden Lake. It is about five kilometres from Concord Railway Station to Lake Walden, and there is no public transport or taxi."Concord5.4km from downtown
No.12 of Best Things to Do in MassachusettsHighlights: Walden became famous in the book "Walden" written by American philosopher and author Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau built a log cabin by the lake and strictly controlled his daily necessities and contacts with others. Then he lived here for two years, two months and two days to complete this masterpiece. Many people come here to visit Walden Pond, the lake is really as pale blue as the author said, and thick ice forms in winter. A plank road for sightseeing has been built by the lake, and the surrounding is very quiet, like a paradise.Show Less
