Distance: .6 Mile Loop
Difficulty: Easy
The Wheeler Trail is located on Route 101 in Peterborough, New Hampshire between Old Street Road and Route 202. If you are coming from the East the trail is a little hard to spot due to placement of the trailhead sign, but it is on the right hand side.
I always thought this trail was a cut off trail to Cranberry Meadow Pond Trail, but it’s a little more than that.
From the small parking lot, follow the trail to the first split. There are two bridges, this is the start of a loop, so you can go either way.
We went to the left and followed the trail along the river.
The trail then opens up to a large field. If you go left you head towards Cheney Ave. We veered right through the field.
The trail then goes back into the woods and crosses a bridge.
After crossing the bridge the trail splits again. If you head left it takes you to Old Street Road and the Cranberry Meadow Pond Trail. If you bare right it loops back around to the parking lot.
Even though this trail is only a .6 mile loop we really enjoyed it. Set close to downtown Peterborough, it’s a beautiful little trail, great for all abilities.
