Because of the fragility of the park's resources, no bicycle riding is allowed. Please walk your bike when you are within the State Reservation. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited. There are no trash barrels on the beach. Please carry out everything you carry in.
Visitors are welcome to swim, picnic, hike, use canoes and rowboats, fish, ski-tour and snowshoe.
Interpreters offer guided walks and educational programs year-round, and staff the replica of Thoreau's house, which is located near the entrance to the parking lot. Regulations are strictly enforced. Please observe them so that all visitors can enjoy Walden Pond in peace and safety.
