Review & FAQ:
Covering over 1,194 acres of water and surrounding land, the Edward McDowell Lake is an important recreational facility for Peterborough residents and visitors. Here you can spend many happy hours getting back to nature. Although many of the activities are water related, the area also offers a network of trails around the perimeter of the lake and the wetlands. These are ideal for hiking, walking and bird-watching in summer, and cross-country skiing and snow-shoeing in winter. Water sports include fishing for bass, pickerel and perch (small electric boats are allowed), canoeing, kayaking and swimming. There are picnic tables and shelters which you can reserve. Seasonal hunting and trapping is allowed.
