The Wing Pond Herring Run is where herring swim up Herring Brook from Buzzards Bay at Old Silver Beach into Wing Pond to spawn in the freshwater before returning to the sea. These fish are a vital food sources for many other larger fish, whales, and coastal birds. Its amazing to watch these fish swim upstream to their breeding grounds in the spring! Even when the herring aren't "running," this is still an enjoyable, peaceful woodland spot near Wing Pond.
