Thorne Pond Conservation Area features a small pond that was created to provide water for snowmaking at Attitash Bear Peak, a ski resort across the road. A flat, level trail loops around the pond and along the banks of the Saco River, offering views of the water and the surrounding mountains. The trail is suitable for hiking, biking, birdwatching, and cross-country skiing. Thorne Pond Conservation Area is open year-round and has easy access and parking.

There is a description of a hike at Thorne Pond with a map on the AllTrails website.
