Best real advice for hiking the path the "circles" Puffers Pond is someone could walk the public path and continue around by walking back to the second beach and down to Mill St, walk the street around. The public path goes almost all around the pond. It stops at private property. {or start at the Mill St Beach and walk around the other way.} Even for those trespassing through private property the path on the Mill St side ends at the big rock/cliff which has town-placed restricted fencing with barbed wire and many signs - trying to keep people from getting hurt.] Many do illegally cross the barbed wire fencing to jump off the rocks. However, one should consider their belongings and time, because even if they can climb the rock down to the waterfall area, another private property sits across that is set on a sheer rock terrain that really blocks the pathway around.
