Review:

Featuring two freshwater lakes, a hardwood forest, and a winding stretch of the Saugus River, Breakheart Reservation is one of the most visited public recreation spaces in the area. When exploring the area and its rocky hilltops, you’ll come across stunning panoramic views of rural New England and Boston. Start your visit by stopping by the Christopher P. Dunne Visitor Center which has a number of exhibits and displays on the forest’s history and wildlife; they also have several educational programs available throughout the year. Other things you can do is go swimming at Pearce Lake or enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing on the many trails. Breakheart Reservation also has amenities such as a play area, a tot lot, Bark Place for furry friends, and fishing facilities.
