RAYMOND’S Frozen Custard
The best custard by far in Maine Baby!
WHAT IS FROZEN CUSTARD? When asked the question, one often gets many different answers. Some typical responses are, “Is that the stuff inside Donuts?” or, “Is it pudding?” But usually the response is, “I have no idea!” Frozen Custard is a gourmet ice cream treat that first originated at the turn of the century on Coney Island, New York, as a carnival treat. The popularity of frozen custard quickly grew and was the rage of the East Coast. Frozen custard was found at many East Coast resort areas. Travelers had a chance to taste the new sensation and it quickly spread to the Midwest. Milwaukee is currently considered the “Custard Capital of the World”. The enjoyment of Frozen Custard was then taken by snowbirds to winter resort havens in the south resulting in multiple new shops to satisfy these customers. The popularity of frozen custard continues to spread into other regions of the country. Raymond’s offers multiple exciting flavors and service with a smile – Stop By Today!

Welcome Greetings from the Town of Naples.
Has the COVID pandemic got you down? Are you looking for places to getaway? Hopefully, we are on the downhill side of this pandemic and moving back towards precaution-free days. So consider a trip in our direction. Naples is tagged as the Heart of the Lakes Region, and just one visit will convince you of what so many have discovered before you. Located centrally in the Western Maine Lakes Region, you will never be far from great shopping, fantastic restaurants, and ample camping opportunities. I should also highlight the limitless outdoor and water attractions of Long Lake, Brandy Pond, Trickey Pond, and Sebago Lake. The Causeway in Naples offers a perfect stop for a leisurely lunch, a public dock for boaters, a short walk to an amply supplied public library, a water tour on the Songo River Queen, or, if you prefer, a birds-eye view from a seaplane. If you like quiet spaces, take your family for a picnic to Blue Rock Park or throw your fishing line into the Crooked River while watching the boaters pass through the historical Songo Locks. We encourage you to visit our area and take in all that we offer. You will not be disappointed.

TOWN Museum The Naples Museum has historical memorabilia and documents pertaining to Naples history and its early years.
A reading area is available for viewing photo albums, reading old documents and for researching family archives. Come see our roof-top brake carriage from the historical Bay of Naples Inn. Travelers once rode the carriage from the town landing to the Inn to start their vacation. The cupola from the Inn has been restored and may be visited at the Naples Barn on Rt 302 this summer. Visitors to the Naples Museum also may hear the tunes of a player piano on loan from Ellie and Bob Hooper, long-time summer residents.
Make plans to visit the HAUNTED museum in October for our 2nd annual fundraiser. Show your support by becoming a member of the Naples Historical Society! Ask the attendant for membership details. Be sure to check out our signs about Naples history on the Causeway. Open late June through August, Monday-Friday 10-4 PM. Thank you for continuing to practice safe COVID-19 guidelines. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. All proceeds fund future needs for the Naples Historical Society. We look forward to meeting you this summer!

Waterways
Long Lake is an eleven mile lake with an average depth of 23 ft and max. depth of 59 ft, between the towns of Naples, Bridgton, and Harrison. Fishing enthusiasts may catch landlocked salmon, small and large mouth bass, and chain pickerel. Brandy Pond is also known as Bay of Naples. It's a connecting body of water between Long Lake and Sebago Lake. With an area of 762 acres, the maximum depth is about 44 feet. Because Brandy Pond serves as a passageway between Sebago Lake and Long Lake, coldwater fish species such as landlocked salmon, brook trout, and brown trout can all be found within its waters. Trickey Pond is nearby on Rt 114, a 315 acre body of water with a max. 55' depth and exceptionally clear. The pond produces high quality landlocked salmon, and provides good habitat for adult brook trout, lake trout and splake. A portion of Sebago Lake State Park is 18
in Naples, a very popular destination for its sandy beach, woodland walking trails, picnic areas, playground, restrooms, boat launching and 250 campsites on 1400 acres. The Songo Lock is the last working lock from the 30-plus locks built in the 1830s which linked Long Lake to the Atlantic Ocean near Portland via the Cumberland and Oxford Canal. Songo Lock connects Sebago Lake to Brandy Pond and Long Lake. The Songo Lock was rebuilt in 1911 by the Sebago Lake Improvement Company for water level control. The Lock is in Sebago Lake State Park between Naples and Casco off U.S. Route 302 and is now used primarily during the summer months by boaters wanting to travel between the two bodies of water. Visitors must pay a fee to travel through the lock by boat. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and is maintained by the State of Maine. For more in depth history and maps of the C & O please visit the Naples Museum.

Camping
Naples' campgrounds
are some of the best kept secrets in Maine. The privately owned parks are of the highest quality and packed full of activities and events.
Colonial Mast Campground is so named due to the history of the property and area. Located in Mast Cove on Long Lake. During Colonial times, the trees in this area were harvested for ships masts as they grew so tall and straight, hence our name. It is our great location on the lake, our sandy beach and the beauty of these tall trees that folks who are camping with us visit to enjoy. We strive to provide the best in family camping, with our well-maintained grounds, friendly customer service, and kids planned activities. With the addition of our indoor pool in 1997, we offer year round recreational camping. The pool is open to the public, and the pool and hot tub, along with our beautiful lodge are well enjoyed by the community, especially in the winter months, offering open swim time, aquacise classes, birthday parties and swim lessons.

Located in the center of southern Maine’s Lake Region, Naples has a wealth of opportunities for recreation yearround. Visitors are drawn to the Naples Causeway on Long Lake and Brandy Pond where they find our special attraction, the Songo River Queen II. For those looking for the camping experience, Naples abounds with options of every type. For those looking for the rustic experience, you’ll find small clearings in wooded areas near lakes and streams. Quiet, solitude, and star lit skies will cap off the experience of camping in these remote areas. For some, the camping experience can be found in assorted commercial campgrounds that offer everything from basic tent sites to far more elaborate sites with water and electricity hook-ups for pull behind trailers or recreational vehicles. Some campgrounds offer amenities such as swimming pools, areas for sports and games, convenience stores, firewood for sale and bathing facilities.
The Maine Legislature has banned ALL out-of-state firewood. Out-of-state firewood can bring harmful insects and diseases that can destroy Maine forests. For more information, go to www.maine.gov/firewood or call 207-287-2791
Four Season's Campground Bob and Judith Van Der Zee started camping with their family at Four Seasons Camping Area in 1971. Ten years later, they purchased the campground. The day to day operations are now run by two of their children, Andrew Van Der Zee and Beth Brown. Much of the campground looks the same as it did 40 years ago, except the trees have grown taller, and the sites are more spacious to accommodate larger trailers. Many families come back year after year and make wonderful memories along the shores of Long Lake.

As you drive into this popular familyfriendly gem, you’re greeted by the Naples Causeway and Boardwalk. This beautiful walkway overlooks Long Lake and Brandy Pond and views of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Because Naples is considered the Heart of the Lakes Region, the winter activities are boundless. There is an Adventure Park 9 miles East of Naples that offers tubing day and night. Sebago Lake State Park offers crosscountry skiing, snowshoeing, and many trails to enjoy the peace and tranquility of winter. If snowmobiling is your thing stop at the town office and buy a map of local trails sponsored by the Snowmobile Club wonderful trail rides to area restaurants. Naples Recreation continues the fun all winter long! Enjoy skating and ice hockey on the outdoor ice skating rink (weather permitting). In partnership with the Sebago Lakes Anglers and the Naples Recreation Committee, enjoy a free day of ice fishing for families and veterans. Watch bald eagles fly low to snag a fish that was discarded on the ice, a photographer's dream! A sledding party with hot cocoa, s’mores, and a contest for the most creative cardboard sled. A special thank you to P&K Sand and Gravel for creating a bigger hill to sled on.
