Boat on the Trent Canal

Peterborough is known for its lakes and waterways. The major river that goes through Peterborough is the Otonabee. This is the native territory of the Anishinaabeg, a group of Indigenous people comprised of the Ojibwa, Odawa, Potawatami, Chippewa, Mississauga, Algonquin, and Delaware communities who controlled the Great Lakes Basin since the late 1600s.
