Join us for a walk in the Breakheart Reservation in Saugus.  The address is 177 Forest Road. You can park anywhere along this street.  In the unlikely event, there is no parking, you can park in the large Target lot next to Forest Road. 

Breakheart Reservation is a public recreation area covering 652 acres in the towns of Saugus and Wakefield, Massachusetts. The reservation features a hardwood forest, two freshwater lakes, a winding stretch of the Saugus River, and scenic views of Boston and rural New England from rocky hilltops. The park is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

We will walk the main trail which is about 3.5 miles long. For quite some distance the trail will border Pearce Lake.  It is an easy trail--most of it paved. You may remember that this area was the scene of a forest fire two years ago so there are some burned areas, but still plenty of forest.

For those interested, we can have lunch along Highway 1 where thare are many alternatives.  One site that sounds interesting is the Istanbul Diner (168 Broadway).
