A clean safe paved path to walk about a mile in Peterborough. Located on Summer Street off of Main Street. Has a parking lot. After parking enter pathway and can go south for a short distance on paved path then empties onto Summer Street short walk to town. If you walk north on paved path empties onto Summer Street for a short distance (.02 mi) then goes back onto paved pathway. Nice walk/run/bike (no motor vehicles) for about 3/4 mi. Path located between street and river. Then ends on Hunt Road. Cars can also park on Hunt Rd and walk south. If you actually park on Hunt Rd ( have to offset park) and walk straight in a northerly direction through Neighborhood there is another paved path (walk/run or bike only) that will lead to Rt. 202 north. Both paths are kept clear during winter months.
