Sebago Lake State Park, State park on Sebago Lake, Maine, US
Sebago Lake State Park is a 1,342-acre state park on the northern shore of a large Maine lake, divided by the Songo River into eastern and western sections. Dense forests cover both sides of the river throughout the property.
This park was established in 1938 as one of Maine's five original state parks, marking the start of state-managed recreational lands. That founding wave reflected a growing effort to protect wild spaces for public use.
The name comes from the Native American word 'sobagoo,' meaning 'it is the sea,' showing how deeply the lake mattered to indigenous peoples. Visitors walking along the water can sense this historical connection to the land today.
The park has two separate campgrounds, Naples Beach and Witch Cove, each with beaches, boat ramps, and a total of 250 camping sites. Both sides offer similar facilities but have different entry points, so check ahead to find the best access for your visit.
The park sits on the Sebago Granite formation and borders Maine's deepest lake, which plunges to depths of about 300 feet (over 90 meters). This geological character makes the location of interest to those curious about how landscape and water interact.
