Walden Pond
Walden Pond
is a lake in
Concord, Massachusetts
in the United States. A famous example of a
kettle hole
, it was formed by retreating
glaciers
10,000–12,000 years ago. The pond is protected as part of
Walden Pond State Reservation
, a state park and recreation site managed by the
Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation
. The reservation was designated a
National Historic Landmark
in 1962 for its association with the writer
Henry David Thoreau
(1817–62), whose two years living in a cabin on its shore provided the foundation for his most famous work,
Walden; or, Life in the Woods
.
