<title>Walden Pond</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Thoreau's hang out, Walden pond is a popular swimming beach. There's plenty of parking and plenty of kids. No dogs allowed, unfortunately.

From the website:
The area is popular for fishing, swimming, and walking. To protect the natural resources of the area and ensure that Walden Pond remains a pleasant place for people in the future, the number of visitors is limited to no more than 1,000 people at a time. Dogs, bicycles, floatation devices and grills are prohibited. To avoid disappointment, visitors are encouraged to call the park in advance and check on parking availability. A replica of Thoreau’s house and the location of his modest home are available for viewing by the public. Year round interpretive programs and guided walks are offered as well as The Shop at Walden and the Tsongas gallery. Specialized Equipment includes portable FM listening systems for park programs and a beach wheel chair for access to the beach and water.

<title>Ipswitch River</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The slow moving Ipswich River winds though Bradley Palmer State Park. Occasionally, near the small bridge, there is a rope swing, which is popular with the locals, but the park officials will often take it down. Popular with canoeists, the river is usually clean and warm If you go further east on Ipswich Road,  the river widens and there are more swimming opportunities. Most people park on the side of the road.
