Fairyland Pond is fed by Brister’s Spring which I suspect has as its source underground seepage from Walden Pond.
The natural environment surrounding Fairyland Pond is also very similar to its parent (Walden Pond) in that it has the appearance of a glacial outwash complete with drumlins all around Fairyland Pond
The elevation of the drumlins and Brister’s Hill are also similar to that of Walden Pond.
A walking trail around Fairyland Pond is also similar to the walking trail around Walden Pond, although somewhat more serene with far fewer visitors. In this respect the ambience of Fairyland Pond today has many similarities to the Walden Pond of Thoreau’s time.
