Puffer Pond is a 50-acre backcountry pond in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, reached via trail from the Kings Flow trailhead. A lean-to on the shore makes it a practical overnight destination for paddlers and hikers seeking quiet water away from road access.
Siamese Ponds are twin backcountry ponds totaling 75 acres in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, accessible via a 4.6-mile hike from the Eleventh Mountain trailhead. Two lean-tos sit along the shoreline; brook trout hold in both ponds, and the water stays quiet—no motor access, minimal day traffic.
