Peaks-Kenny State Park

Peaks-Kenny State Park is a 900-acre forested area located along Sebec Lake in central Maine featuring a sandy beach and camping facilities. The property includes four marked trails for day visitors and water access where canoes and kayaks can be rented or launched.

The park was established in 1938 as a protected area to preserve the landscape and offer public recreation along Sebec Lake. Since its founding, it has remained a regional destination for outdoor activities in central Maine.

The area holds meaning as a recreation hub where people from nearby communities gather for swimming, boating, and camping throughout the seasons. It serves as a place where outdoor activities connect residents and visitors to Maine's natural landscape.

The campground has 56 sites arranged in two loops with central facilities, while day visitors can park near the beach and trailheads. Summer months draw larger crowds, so visiting in shoulder seasons offers a quieter experience.

Four separate day-use trails wind through different forest types with some passing through older growth sections that reveal how Maine's woodlands develop naturally over time. These routes expose visitors to various forest stages that go beyond standard recreation activities.
