Breakheart Pond is a fishing lake in Rhode Island, managed by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and sitting about half a mile from Lewis City. It is an easy outing, and its location makes it a natural anchor for a day of exploring the surrounding trails and climbing areas. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coventry show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, with July the warmest month at about 85°F. The Breakheart trail starts just 0.3 miles away, and Breakheart Ledge, a climbing area, is about 0.6 miles off. The Holy Grail mountain biking route is roughly 0.8 miles away, and the Shelter Trail is about 0.9 miles away.
