though it can feel like a mall with the summer crowds, in the early spring and fall this place still has the magic of the thoreau book. beautiful when the leaves are changing, it's a lovely, calm, natural space. a great place to ride your bike out to, sneak off to the far side of the pond and skinnydip. to me, this IS new england.
