Peterborough

A number of trails run through the City and County of Peterborough, offering a surprising variety of opportunities and experiences within an urban-rural environment. One of the most popular trails in Peterborough is the Rotary Greenway trail, 20 kilometres of urban and rural trail enhanced with benches, historic, environmental and ecological signage.

The south entrance to the trail is on Ashburnham Drive, through the Ecology Park. The trail winds through the Beavermead camping area and along the north shore of Roger's Cove (this section of the Rotary Greenway trail is part of the Trans-Canada Trail). The trail continues north to Auburn Mills where it branches west across the Otonabee River. Further north the trail reaches Trent University. At the north edge of the campus it continues through Peterborough County along the Scenic River Road Section to the Lakefield Trail.
