Fancy a hike?
Or a walk, run, ride, kayak, canoe…you get the point.
Wakefield, and the immediate area, is home to abundant walking and hiking trails, as well as parks, and civic spaces. Wakefield is even home to the beautiful Lake Quannapowitt.
Breakheart Reservation (1.5 miles, 4 min drive)
Breakheart is one of the northshore’s favorite places! It spans 652 acres across both Wakefield & Saugus. The reservation features 2 freshwater lakes, a stretch of the Saugus River, and scenic views of Boston.
Lake Quannapowitt (0.3 miles, 3 min drive)
Lake Quannapowitt, with its 3.3 mile trail and 3 parks, is a popular setting for walkers, joggers, bikers and in-line skaters. It is the site for many organized races from 5Ks to ultramarathons, as well as public activities such as the Festival by the Lake, and the weekly Farmer’s Market.
