A fish hatchery for raising trout to stock the small trout pond was located within walking distance from the hotel (which today is on the east side of I-93, easily visible from the highway). The hotel owned thousands of acres in Franconia Notch, including the Old Man of the Mountain, Profile Dairy Farm, Profile Links Golf Course, The Basin, The Pool and The Flume. A mineral spring house near the south end of Echo Lake provided water for the guests, and a similar spring still provides water for local residents and visitors. (It is located near Boise Rock.) Recreational facilities included hiking, tennis, badminton, croquet, fishing, boating, horseback and burro riding to the summit of Mount Lafayette and elsewhere.
