The Notch Road is an 9 mile east–west one lane dirt road in Thornton and Sandwich that was established over two hundred years ago in 1801. During the early nineteenth century, Sandwich Notch Road was what Interstate 93 is to us today. In summer and fall, there are many great hikes and mtn bike rides on trails in the notch. The notch itself is a great cyclocross bike ride or a car ride with clearance. It's single lane (find a place to pull over when another car comes along) with dips and rocks. The Notch used to be a thriving community so there are many cellar holes (house foundations) to find and try to visualize what life was like back then. A book or two was written about the notch so you may like to read and explore. Bring a plastic sled (snowboat) to slide down the rocks in the stream below Beede's falls (or wear out your shorts) and plunge into the small pool at the bottom. If you like exploring, you can easily spend a day in the Notch! In spring and winter the road is closed but you can snomobile, ski or snowshoe. One of the best is visiting Beedes falls in winter to see the ice cave that forms there. Hopefully no one has broken it open because it's best when there is just a small opening on the left and you crawl in to view the "winter lagoon", a magical ice palace in miniature! Nineteenth century farmers who lived in northwestern New Hampshire and Vermont used the Notch Road to bring their products and livestock to coastal towns where they would sell them and purchase needed homestead supplies. At the time, the road through the Notch was a shortcut to the coast that saved farmers time and money. Can you imagine droves of livestock coming down this road? It must have been a sight to see!
