Puffers Pond

Highlight • Lake

Puffers Pond is a popular 11-acre pond in Amherst. This freshwater pond is the largest body of water in the town and has sandy beaches for swimming and places where you can launch a canoe. There are trails that encircle it that you can hike, bird, and fish along. This is a nice place to stop as you ride around the area.
