The pond is located at Concord. It is considered as the landmark of the conservation movement. The history behind it is related to Henry Thoreau, who lived there in mid 19th century and became an activist of natural preservation.
This is small pond surrounded by woods and trails. The area is pretty family friendly. Some said that you could do picnic here. However, I neither saw any one was doing so, nor the barbecue setup, even not necessary. We came here in a cloudy autumn weekend. I was sure that it would look even more beautiful if it had been sunny.
The temperature was still cool around 9:00am and there were already a bunch of swimmers enjoying themselves. A couple of boats in the water. A young couple pushed a stroller not far from the beach. The quietness was broken by what looked like a group of students from nearby schools. Yeah.. everyone wanted to see the foliage in a Fall.
The trail was narrow but very well established and maintained. I think it could take about an hour or so to circle the pond. Let's see...

Next to the trail, behind the hill, it is MBTA's Fitchburg line of Commuter Rail:

With the time of taking pictures and all that. It took more than an hour. But it was worth it. It is a good exercise after all.
