Six hikers walked through part of the Breakheart Reservation in Saugus MA. We walked up Hemlock Road to Flume Road, then Spring Lake Road ending at the beach at the Pine Tops Road. We then took a much more challenging route (Fox Run Trail) back to the visitor center. It was a perfect day for hiking—sunny skies and temperature about 70 degrees. The trails were all shady, but there were several hills and huge rocks.
Breakheart is a very large area with a variety of trails, a beach, and a visitor center. All are maintained by the State of Massachusetts. It has an entry in Wakefield as well as the Saugus entry where we started.
After the hike, several of us went to the Istanbul Diner where we enjoyed a variety of Turkish sandwiches and plates.
