Common questions
What's the best time to visit?
Spring, during the herring migration, is when the run itself is the main draw, as fish move upstream to spawn.
Is there an entry fee at Herring Run Park?
No, entry is free.
Can I bring my dog to Herring Run Park?
Pembroke requires any dog off its owner's property to be held on a chain or leash, or kept under its handler's immediate and effective control, and the bylaw sets no maximum leash length. Dogs are banned outright from the town's beaches and cemeteries. Posted signs at the site take precedence.
