Entrances and parking

From MA-2:
Accessible only from the eastbound lanes, about one-third mile past the Sudbury Road intersection. Exit at Fairhaven Road and take an immediate left to park along Arena Terrace. Walk up Fairhaven Road to a spot where several private driveways enter on the right. Take the left-most gravel drive and look for a trailhead on your right.

From Sudbury Road:
Turn east into the driveway that is immediately left of the driveway to #657 Sudbury Road/ Park in the parking area on the left, owned by the Walden Woods Project. Use the road to Robinson Well to access trails.

Among the first properties acquired by CLCT and still its largest holding, Wright Woods sits within 2,000 acres of protected and wooded open space. It links Walden Pond Reservation with the Sudbury River and a well site of the Town of Concord and abuts land owned by the Walden Woods Project.  For Thoreau, the area around Walden Pond and Fairhaven Hill was one of the ‘wild tracts’ of Concord, a solitary and remote place of water and woodlands. The Wright Woods retains much the same character today.

Initially consisting of gifts by Helen Wright beginning in 1959, the property has been augmented over the years by additional gifts in the Fairhaven Hill area from Henry Seton and his daughter Mary Seton Abele, Eric Parkman Smith, Mary S. Thompson, and Eunice Knight.
