Breakheart Reservation is a large public park occupying 652 acres in the towns of Wakefield and Saugus near Salem. The park features a variety of landscapes, including a winding section of the Saugus River, two lakes, rocky hilltops that offer scenic views, and a hardwood forest, all ripe for exploring. The park has a visitors center with educational programs and information as well as exhibits about the park’s wildlife and history. There are a number of trails available for hiking, biking, and skiing. The lake offers plenty of fun, especially in the summer, with a swimming beach available on the northern end of Pearce Lake and fishing permitted in the lakes.
