Olney Pond is a fishing lake in Rhode Island, managed by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and sitting about half a mile from Saylesville Highlands. It is an easy outing, and its location makes it a natural base for a day of climbing, bouldering and mountain biking on the surrounding land. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Woonsocket show July highs around 84°F with lows near 63°F, while September cools to highs around 75°F. The pond is surrounded by boulders and trails. Peninsula Boulders is about 0.1 mile away, and Lake Side Boulder and Jesus Loves You Boulder are each about 0.2 mile off. Mountain bikers can ride the Dark Side of the Pond trail, about 0.3 mile away.
