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 Programs Rangers 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

and non-profit groups with a permit.
