Thorne Pond Conservation Area, New Hampshire – Thorne Pond Conservation Area is a small tract of land located along Route 302 in Bartlett, New Hampshire. The parking lot is directly across from the entrance of Attitash Bear Peak. I know little about this tract of land, but from what I have read online the pond was created to provide water for snow making at Attitash Bear Peak.
Easy access and plenty of parking makes this conservation area a popular spot for walkers and nature lovers. A path travels around the pond and to the Saco River (above), which is located directly behind the pond. On your visit, make a point to walk down to the Saco River and view how Tropical Storm Irene has altered the river channel. It really is impressive.
I prefer to photograph Thorne Pond Conservation Area in the morning when the pond has a nice reflection of the surrounding area, but overall the area is great to visit any time of year. If you would like to see more images of Thorne Pond Conservation Area click here.
