The Pembroke Herring Run: A History of the Valley and Fishery

The North River, formed by the junction of Indian Head River and Barker River flows northeasterly through the towns on Marshfield, Scituate, Norwell, Pembroke, and Hanover. The present outlet to Massachusetts Bay was formed during the gale of 1898, 3 miles to the north of the old opening. It is here that the adult alewife begins its journey towards its spawning grounds in Furnace and Oldham Ponds.
