Sebago Lake State Park

Sebago Lake State Park is open yearround and is renowned for swimming, boating, sport fishing, camping and water sports as well as a popular destination for area visitors. The park is on the north shore of Sebago Lake in the towns of Naples and Casco. The 1,400 acre park features a sandy beach, woodland walking trails, ponds, bogs, and a river. The diverse habitat allows for a great variety of plant and animal life. Well-equipped facilities including wheelchair-accessible restrooms, 250 campsites, family and large group picnic areas, a playground, concessions and two boat launches are in the park.

The historic Songo Lock connects Sebago and Long Lake.

Power boaters, sailors, kayakers, canoeists and anglers enjoy the Songo River and the historic Songo Lock connecting Sebago and Long Lakes. Songo Lock is the last existing lock of 28 locks built for the Cumberland and Oxford Canal, a 50-mile corridor from the area to the sea. In operation May 1 through October 15, the hand-operated lock provides a fascinating point of interest for boaters and vistors.

Sebago Lake State Park’s 250-site campground is open mid-May through mid-September.

Whether hiking on marked trails or bicycling on park roads, visitors find many ways to enjoy the outdoors. An active interpretive program in summer enhances enjoyment of the park through ranger-led activities, programs in the amphitheater and guided hikes. In winter months visitors can discover six miles of groomed trails that provide a peaceful sanctuary for ski touring or long walks and quiet nature observation.
