Breakheart Reservation Trails

Here you can park and explore the park headquarters building. From here you will want to really follow the gps track in this guide. There are a ton of trails in the area that criss-cross the park and it would take me 50+ POI's to explain each one so just keep an eye on the track in this guide to find your way.

At 233 feet you are at the top of Breakheart Hil where you will have great views back towards the skyline of boston. Look for the rusted out vehicle frame near the top as well as you take rest from your steep climb from the park headquarters.

Here you will have a nice view across the lake towards the rocky top of Eagle Rock before descending the trail down to the beach.

There are multiple picnic tables in the area as well as a playground for children and you are able to swim in the lake. This is a great place to relax before you start your climb up Eagle Rock.

You will follow the shore of the lake from the beach to the north end of the Pierce Lake to its outlet for a few more views.

At 206 feet you are at the top of the very rocky Eagle Rock. From here you will have views over the lake and beach below towards Upper Pond (Silver Lake).

At 272' you are at the top of Crow Hill now and should have views over the ponds to the city in the distance.

At 286 feet you are at the top of Castle Rock now with views towards the city and down to the Power Line Corridor to the west. Backtrack back to the trail and continue southeast along the ridge.

The outlet of Silver Lake (Upper Pond) that drains into Pierce lake (Lower Pond).

Some views over Silver Lake from the south end near the outlet that drains into Pierce lake which is significantly lower elevation. From here follow around Pierce Lake on the west side.

Your last view of Breakheart Reservation is north over Pierce Lake. From here follow the trail back to the park road and follow it south around a bend back to the visitor center.
