Studleys Pond is a 29-acre pond in Rockland, Massachusetts, known locally as Reed's Pond. The pond is located south of Rockland Center on Route 123, 0.1 mile west of Route 139. The French Stream flows through the pond. Martin Island lies in the southern portion of the pond. Thomas V. Mahon Park, a park which is owned by the Town of Rockland and is accessible from Route 123, lies along the southern shore of the pond. In 1996 the water quality of the pond was impaired due to fecal coliform bacteria. The pond, however, has been cleaned up since. As a result, the water quality today is not considered to be impaired.
