Walden Pond

The Walden Pond is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Layout
The pond itself is small and highly irradiated (+10), with an island in the middle without obvious significance which smokes mysteriously. Up on the hill to the west, there is a an automated tour box in front of a cabin that was home to Henry David Thoreau. Beyond this is a gift shop - a much larger building, which is boobie-trapped with a few makeshift bombs and one of those monkeys with the clapping cymbals. Stuck to the wall by a knife is a "Note to Tweez". The note reads as follows:

Tweez, If you are reading this, then you're an idiot. this is the last time I tell you, we're locking this door. Use the entrance in the sewer pipe. Next time you forget, I'm locking your ass out permanently. -Walter

This note is just outside a door to the "Gift Shop Basement" which is a Master-Class lockpick.

To the east is a makeshift raider tower, also unmarked.

You can find the Gift Shop Key that opens the Gift Shop Basement in side Walden Pond. You can also find Big Jim (weapon) in here. There is a copy of Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor (Fallout 4) in the first room from the sewer pipe entrance.
