Such a wonderful place right on the canal. Limited parking with plenty of handicap areas. Whether you're enjoying a quick bite to eat and live in the area or want to do a beautiful walk or run right on the canal this is a great spot. It's very beautiful there's places to eat that's within very close walking distance and overall a lovely pit stop. If you have found my review helpful please give me a thumbs up 👍 and feel free to follow me for future reviews.

Bicycled west from Herring Run to railroad bridge in Buzzards Bay along the Cape Cod Canal. It is a paved path for walkers, joggers, rollerbladers and cyclist of all ages. A few benches along the route to stop and take in the sites and watch the boats pass. Fisherman can be seen fishing off the rocks along the Canal. This passed visit I spotted a Blue Heron and was able to take a picture. It is well worth a visit.

Depending upon water temp, expect herring in heavy numbers around May 11th every spring. They need at least 1/2 tide to enter the run.
