Distance: 1 Miles
Difficulty: Easy
Located on Old Street Road in Peterborough, NH, near route 101 is a wonderful hiking trail that is perfect for all abilities or if you just want to get out into the woods for an hour. The trail starts out by going over several foot bridges.
Then meanders through the woods along a stream. During the summer months the stream can be pretty low, but in the spring there is a nice flow with small cascades.
When you get closer to pond there is a small incline and then a decent down to the pond.
On the way back from the pond, when the leaves are off the trees you can get a glimpse of Mt. Monadnock.
The hike is about a mile to the pond, but you can continue a little over a mile to East Mountain Road. From there you can connect to a trail that goes up Pack Monadnock. I have only walked to the pond, therefore I can not comment on the rest of the trail. In the wet season the trail does have some muddy spots. I recommend this hike for all ages and abilities.
