WALKING ROUTES

Peterborough has many beautiful streets and interesting paths. The more you get out and explore our community the more of these you'll discover!

Covering distance doesn't take as long as you think!

Here is a sampling of some of our urban nature trails:

• The Jackson Creek Kiwanis Trail

• The Rotary Greenway Trail
  Stretching north to south, from Lakefield to Peterborough, this 20 km paved trail is a labour of love for the Peterborough Rotary Club. In the south the trail can be accessed through the Ecology Park on Ashburnham and winds its way into East City , meandering alongside the Otonabee River .
