The reservation is closed to vehicles year round, providing a fresh air
atmosphere for visitors.Parking is available at both the Forest Street
lot in Saugus, and the Northeast Vocational School lot in Wakefield.
Breakheart Reservation is a 640-acre hardwood forest with jagged, rocky
outcroppings, two fresh-water lakes, and a rambling section of the
Saugus River. Seven rocky hills, over 200 feet high, provide vistas of
Boston, southern New Hampshire and central Massachusetts. An extensive
trail system through the woodlands guides visitors to various areas of the
reservation. 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. In addition
to its natural resources, the reservation has a rich cultural history.
Special ProgramsRangers conduct year-round programs that interpret
the plant and animal life of the woods and ponds as well as reservation
management issues and cultural themes of the reservation's past. In the
summer, most programs begin at the Pearce Lake swimming area.
Many of the programs are suitable for children. Special school programs
are offered in the spring.
Camp Nihan offers camping and day use throughout the year for schools
