Horn Pond

The large lake is a common fishing spot and the main trail runs right around it – about a one hour walk.
A causeway separates the large lake from the smaller lagoon.
The of bird life at Horn Pond is astounding. Here is one example by the photographer Manoj Sharma.
The paved path (road with no cars!) around the lake is good for wheelchairs, strollers, and bikes.
The main trail is popular but there are many side trails.
The woods are a mix of pine and hardwoods.
There is a lovely pine forest with a deep soft carpet of pine needles.
Horn Pond is also home to power lines and a water treatment plant, so nature's beauty comes mixed with industry at times.
The swans have a sizable fan club and people follow the birth of cygnets each season.
Views from the top of the mountain go all the way to Boston.
A trash collection effort is underway to filter trash from the incoming stream.
The Red Bridge is one of a number of bridges and is a common focus point.
There are a number of small ponds along the incoming stream, many lined with wetlands.

Horn Pond in Woburn is a VERY popular place to walk, but you can easily avoid busier areas by choosing many smaller side trails away from the lake – or climb the mountain with great views of Boston from the top.
