If you’ve lived in Massachusetts for awhile, you’ve probably been to the Walden Pond that was inspired by author Henry David Thoreau. While you might have fond memories of exploring Walden Pond and exploring the signs and cabin, you might not know that this pond truly comes to life in autumn. This beautiful pond might not be huge, but it’s the perfect little oasis to experience Massachusetts fall foliage in a truly enchanting atmosphere. Get ready to take in the crisp air and see all the colors, while possibly being inspired just like Thoreau was, during fall at Walden Pond in Concord.
