Almost unknown to any but those who live nearby, the 640-acre Breakheart lies along a wild section of the Saugus River, north of Boston. Inside its hardwood forest are two lakes and seven hills, rocky outcrops just over 200 feet in height, but high enough above the woods for views of Boston and southern New Hampshire. Hiking trails circle both lakes, border the river, and form loops throughout the park.
