Description

This is a simple, short run from Walden Street to Thoreau's Cove, but it has a history to it. This follows a wide dirt path that is the same that Henry David Thoreau used to walk to his bean field. It is pretty cool to be running around the same trails that he used when he lived here for two years.

Flora & Fauna

Typical northern forest with oak trees, maples, beeches and pines.
