Volunteers have lovingly maintained this herring run and created a tranquil setting for viewing the pond with the sound of the brook below. This bridge is a simple slab of granite spanning the creek which then flows under a larger stone bridge on the other side.

Actually this bench faces not the pond, but the herring run which was the result of conservation efforts at this site. There are no real recreational facilities here, but this memorial bench at the outflow of Quivett Creek and the herring run provides a tranquil setting with the sound of the brook and views over the ponds where the native swans may be seen. At the east end there is access to the historic Sears Family Cemetery. The gravel parking area has room for 10-15 cars.

NOTE: Gathering herring here is strictly prohibited! This is maintained to allow the fish to access their breeding grounds only. Feeding of the birds is also prohibited. Just enjoy the beautiful swans that nest here.
