Dont even bother going if its a weekend. Youll end up sitting in a long line of cars sweating for the opportunity to fork over $5 to park. Only go on weekdays if you want to have a good time. Why wont the state make a bigger lot? The picturesque beauty of the pond described in Thoreaus book has already been destroyed by the few tons of sand that have been dropped on the place, not to mention a boathouse, so theres no point in pretending the natural beauty is still undisturbed. Mon thru Fri only.
Pros: Close to city
Cons: Ugly, Crowded, Overused
