Amazing Cape Cod Herring Run in Paine’s Creek Brewster Mass Video
Fascinating herring run video at Stony Brook in Brewster on Cape Cod. We were visiting our daughter and fortunate enough to go over to see this sight. The gulls were swooping around and the herring were fighting there way up stream.
We were fortunate enough to get the timing right to see the herring running. Even caught some jumping out of the water.
They were schooling up in the different pools as they rested up for the next rush up to the next level. The fish can be seen crowded together in each pool then one would take off and swim and or jump to the next higher pool. Our grandson loved looking into the pools and trying to spot as many as he could. The power in the fish and the energy it takes to make it all the way up to the height of the dam was impressive. It is a total of 26 feet they climb.
The fish run Goes by the Stony Brook Grist Mill that was closed at the time. But we were lucky enough to be there when one of the members was giving a brief tour and we were lucky enough to get a history lesson. It is an amazing sight to see what these fish can do!

Paines Creek in Brewster MA. Kayak Adventure.
Paines Creek in Brewster is a long meandering water way from Cape Cod bay to Mill pond. We paddled as far as we could but were turned back at a low bridge that is part of the Cape Cod Natural History Museum hiking trails. This video starts at the bridge and documents the return voyage to the beach at the head of Paines Creek. To compress the paddle the video is sped up in parts. Enjoy

Long time local residents speak about the joys and wonder of living in Brewster on Cape Cod.
Karen:
It’s just one of those places. I mean where else on the Cape do you have no working traffic light. Can you name one town that doesn’t have a traffic light. We had one at one time, but it doesn’t work.
Steve:
Brewster is a town with a lot of history, and although changes have come to Brewster and the Cape, in general, Brewster has kept its character throughout the time of change.
Jim:
Well, we have two draws that I can see for the town of Brewster. One is the seasonal draw. We have vast beaches about 11 miles of them.
We have a lot of ponds if people want to get into the fresh water. And the year-round residents come here for retirement. Or the younger folks come here for the great educational system.
Steve:
One activity that I really like in Brewster is the availability of high tide and swimming and then low tide and the flats.
Karen:
When you can go out for a mile and just keep walking and keep walking back without having water above your waist.
It’s just something you won’t experience anywhere else. It’s also a calming experience when you walk out on the flats, you aren’t going to have the noise that you have in other areas or even at the dock.
Steve:
We have two beautiful 18 hole golf courses that are connected called The Captain’s Course.
Jim:
The Captain’s was one of the top 25 courses named in 1986.
Steve:
Brewster’s main street is route 6A and if you travel along it you’d see the marshes of Brewster, you’ll see the Sea Captain’s houses.
Jim:
The town of Brewster is known for the Sea Captain’s town. There are probably 20-25 seas captain’s homes throughout the town.
Steve:
The Sea Captain population here in Brewster was probably greatest in the mid-1800s.
Jim:
Another site you’ll see as you travel along 6A is the Brewster general store. Us locals think of that as the center of Brewster.
Karen:
I go there a couple times a week and see the people that come in. And they always come back. And they come back with their kids. Then they come back with their grand children. And the grand children grow up and they start coming here.
Steve:
When I was a kid growing up here in Brewster we lived fairly close to the Brewster Store and it was always a great place to go, great place to visit, great place to explore all the different things that were there. It’s still a great place to explore because it’s very much as it was back in the day when I was a child here.
Jim:
We have the Punkhorn parklands in West Brewster which is hundreds of open space acres the town’s purchased; the 1900 acre Nickerson State Park. My child grew up there and went fishing…sporting. My grand children now go over there. There’s hiking and all types of activities to enjoy with the family.
Karen:
My son and his wife and family rent the yurts. You can stay overnight in a yurt that has electricity or you can take tents in there.
Steve:
I think the type of people who tend to live in Brewster are passionate about preservation of what’s here…
Passionate about preservation of the environment…
Passionate about keeping Brewster so that people can enjoy it in future years.
