The Peterborough Bike Route is a paved bike trail that begins at the north driveway of the Noone Falls Mill (occupied by shops and offices) and runs parallel to the east side of Route 202 to the Grove Street crossing. The topography of the trail strongly suggests that it occupies an abandoned railroad bed despite the location of the railroad track symbol on the west side of the highway in the following location map.
Trail users should be able to thread their way through the parking lot of the Noone Falls Mill to its south end, where they can cross the bridge (closed to vehicle traffic) to the east side of the mill pond.
