Swamp Thing Boulder is a climbing area in Rhode Island, about half a mile from Saylesville Highlands. It sits among a cluster of other climbing spots and mountain biking trails, so it works well as one stop in a day of exploring the surrounding area. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Woonsocket weather station show May highs around 70°F and September highs around 75°F, while July climbs to about 84°F and January highs sit near 38°F. Goat Rock and Betty Boulder are both about 0.1 mile away, and the High and Low mountain biking trail is just as close. For a change of pace, Olney Pond offers lake fishing about half a mile off.
