For years UMass students have been making their way over to puffers pond when the warm weather arrives.
Perfect for this beautiful upcoming weekend, Puffers pond is the perfect day activity with friends.
Whether you want to lie out and get that perfect pre-spring break tan, swim, fish or tube, Puffer’s pond is the place to be.
Located in North Amherst, the pond is close to campus. Free to all, this fun activity will not break the bank.
Here are directions to your pre-spring break destination courtesy of www.Amherst.edu.

- the parking lot for the South shore of Puffer’s Pond is in 1/4 mile
