Today we will take the high road up the ridge-line. The hike is moderate. The view is amazing. Bring extra water. Time to get in shape! Here is your chance to get outdoors for some fresh air, if only for an hour or 2. We will provide support and motivation to each other for getting and keeping in shape.
We will top the end of the hike with quick hike up to Eagle Rock Hill for a nice view of Pearce Lake.
Open year-round dawn to dusk, Breakheart Reservation is a 640-acre Massachusetts state park located in the towns of Saugus and Wakefield. The reservation features a hardwood forest with two freshwater lakes (Silver Lake and Pearce Lake), a winding stretch of the Saugus River, and scenic views of Boston and rural New England from any of seven rocky hilltops. The park is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. An extensive trail system through the woodlands guides visitors to various areas of the reservation. A trail map can be picked up at Christopher P. Dunne Visitor Center. Fishing in Silver and Pearce Lakes, hiking the trails and birdwatching by the Saugus River are popular year-round activities. The supervised swimming area at Pearce Lake, one of the few fresh- water swimming spots north of Boston, draws crowds in the summer. The reservation is closed to vehicles year round, providing a pollution free atmosphere for visitors. Ample parking is available at both the Forest Street lot in Saugus and at the Northeast Vocational School lot in Wakefield.
