Like most of Central and Northern New Hampshire towns there are many things to do in Thornton, Two Golf Courses have at least some of the facilities in Thornton, The Mad River, and the Pemigewasset rivers flow though town for fishing and boating enthusiasts. The Sugar Shack and maple sugar products can be found in town (along with the White Mountain Boogie & Blues concert). Tripoli Road is only open in the summer and is a haven for National Forest Campers and hikers. The Mountains and the Waters of the region had their hand in our real estate office name, that is why Alpine Lakes Real Estate co. does it's business in the White Mountain of New Hampshire.
