Oldham Pond (Massachusetts)

Oldham Pond is a kettle pond located in the towns of Pembroke and Hanson, Massachusetts. It is part of the Taunton River Watershed. The pond's approximate surface area is 233 acres (0.94 km2). It is fed by groundwater and some surface runoff, and its outflow is via the Herring Brook.

The pond is a popular location for recreational activities, including swimming, boating, fishing, and kayaking. A public boat ramp provides access to the pond for motorized and non-motorized watercraft.

The shoreline of Oldham Pond is primarily residential, with some undeveloped areas. The water quality is generally considered good, though algae blooms have been observed periodically. The pond supports a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, pickerel, and panfish.

Historically, Oldham Pond was an important resource for the local population, used for fishing, water supply, and ice harvesting. The name "Oldham" is believed to be derived from an early settler or landowner.
