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

  • The Jackson Creek Kiwanis Trail

    A favourite with dog-walkers and Sunday morning strollers, this 4-kilometre section of the Trans-Canada trail follows Peterborough's Jackson Creek from Jackson Park on Parkhill Road, westward to Ackison Road just south of Lily Lake Road. For more information call (705) 745-5791.
  • 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 end, the trail can be accessed through the Ecology Park on Ashburnham and winds its way into East City, meandering alongside the Otonabee River . Busy with walkers, cyclists and rollerbladers in the summer, this trail goes through Trent University in the north end of Peterborough, then follows River Road to meet up with the Lakefield Trail. For further information call (705) 742-5162.
  • Lakefield Trail

    The lovely village of Lakefield proudly boasts this 5.5 km trail that winds its way through the community, along the Otonabee River and Lake Katchawanooka. Once in the village, ask any local where to meet up with the trail. For further information call (705) 652-3381.
