You Will Never Get Bored At Sebago Lake State Park

If you’re a Mainer or resident of a neighboring state, you must add Sebago Lake State Park to your day trip bucket list. As one of Maine’s original five state parks, Sebago Lake State Park opened in 1938 to provide recreation and outdoor activities to the public.

The area encompasses 1,400 acres and features extensive woodlands, ponds, rivers, sandy beaches, and habitats for numerous plant and animal life.

If you’re a hiker, you’ll be pleased to know that the hiking trails are well-marked and rated easy to moderate. They meander through various forest types and woodlands and empty along the north side of Sebago Lake and Songo River. You’re likely to see bald eagles, deer, and other wildlife on your hike.

Fishing in summer is possible via the park’s boat launch and Songo Lock Veteran’s Fishing Pier. Unlike most parks in Maine, winter fishing is allowed since ice doesn’t form on the lake until much later. However, caution must be taken before venturing out.
