Breakheart is a beautiful green space in an area (Saugus) that’s not always known for its natural beauty. This is a 5.3-mile loop with 590’ of elevation gain. We will meet at the Breakheart Reservation Visitor Center at 298 Forest St, Saugus, MA 01906. Dress for summer-like weather with a chance of a brief shower. Bring a lunch with you that we can enjoy on the trail.
