Lots of Fun....Close to Home
Eaton Mountain Ski Area is located on Lambert Road (not Eaton Mountain Road), just off Route 2 between Skowhegan and Canaan.
!!! If you use a GPS: set it for "Eaton Mountain Ski Area". With some systems, using only "Eaton Mountain" will take you on a private jeep trail to the summit of Eaton Mountain. Also: contrary to several systems, Lambert Road is not open to vehicle traffic between Oak Pond Road and the ski area. !!!
From Skowhegan: Take Route 2 east, continue past the blinking light (Eaton Mountain Road). Lambert Road is the next right.
From Waterville: Take Route 201 north to Hinckley, right on to Route 23 north to Canaan. Left on to Route 2 west. Go past Lake George, left on to Lambert Road.
From I-95: Exit 133 (Route 201/Fairfield). Follow Waterville directions.
