Walkers enjoy First Day Hike at Breakheart

(Editor’s Note: The following info is an edited press release issued by the Friends of Breakheart this week.)

  On January 1, 2023, approximately 250 people attended the Annual Breakheart Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR)/Friends of Breakheart First Day Hike event. It was a beautiful day, about 50 degrees, no rain and sunny, a great Day to be out at Breakheart. There were a couple of hikes to choose from: a shorter one which was about 2 miles long and a longer one about 3 miles long. The hikes were led by DCR staff. Refreshments, hot cocoa (from the DCR), clam chowder (from Kelly’s Roast Beef) and snacks from the Friends of Breakheart awaited the hikers on their return.

  DCR encourages all to explore the potential of our state parks. The Friends of Breakheart is planning other events for the spring for families and children. Our park, Breakheart, is considered a “hidden gem.” Please explore it.
