Parks & Nature
A must see if you're in Concord! Pristine location to swim or take a hike. There's a fee for parking (I think around $8/car). In the busy months, the lot reaches capacity quickly and opens + closes in shifts. Check out their twitter (@waldenpondstate) for info on when it opens next to time your visit.
