Hinckleys Pond is also known as Pleasant Lake and is classified as a Great Pond due to its 172-acre size. It has a well-maintained beach with plenty of activities. The Cape Cod Rail Trail passes nearby, which is a super byway. This is a great place to take a break, especially as nearby you have Pleasant Lake Pizza Shark, a well-known local eatery.

Long Pond is huge freshwater pond in Brewster and Harwich (the town line crosses down the middle of it). The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs right along the western shore of it past some private beaches. Please respect the local residents and stay off the beaches and on the trail.

Seymour Pond is one of many freshwater kettle ponds in the Brewster/Harwich area. The public beach for this scenic pond butts right up against the Cape Cod Rail Trail and is a great place to pause and snap a few photos or maybe even take a dip to cool off in the summertime.
