Directions to trailhead: Take Route 5 north from Lovell, Maine. Take a left onto West Stoneham Road. Hut Road will eventually be on the right - take this road to get to the Miles Notch Trail trailhead. Unsigned in fall 2010, the trailhead was located past the national forest boundary, shortly after a slight dip in the road, on the right, with a small, mowed parking area on the left. To get to the Evergreen Link, continue on West Stoneham Road past Hut Road, then bear right at the next curve onto Adams Road. Mountain Road will eventually be on the right.
