I have not been to Walden Pond in the present but I would imagine it has become a tourist attraction. Thoreau would likely have not been pleased at this. The major theme of Walden was to escape the masses and artificiality of the "civilized" world. He would not like to see his beloved place of solitude turned into a tourist destination.
