![]() ![]() When my older brother recommended a swim in Walden Pond while I was rambling around New England in September. I was there to cross-country ski on the trails above the pond, which was completely covered in deep snow. When I first visited Walden Pond when I was in college, I do not recall being struck by the pond’s lake-ish look. Since first reading Walden in high school, I have always imagined Walden Pond as a pond-a smallish, shallowish roundish body of water. Now that it’s November and my local lakes in the Pacific Northwest are nearly unswimmable without a wetsuit, it’s the perfect time to reflect back on my wild swim in the mild waters of Walden Pond. The Walden Pond made famous by Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden, or Life in the Woods. One of the most delightful and serendipitous of my summer’s wild swims of 2019 was Walden Pond just outside the town of Concord, Massachusetts. ![]()
