Plan Your Visit

Sebago Lake State Park is open every day of the year from 9 a.m. to sunset. Use the day-use entrance at 11 Park Access Road in Casco for the beach, picnics, the boat launch and the ski trails, and the campground entrance at 3 Campground Road in Naples if you are camping. Day use costs $6 for Maine residents and $8 for non-residents aged 12 and over, cash is safest, and you can get the park's condition alerts by texting SEBAGO to 888-514-7527.

Which Entrance?

• Casco (day use): Songo Beach, picnic groves, group shelters, boat launch, park headquarters, the Songo River and Woodlands trails, and the groomed winter trails.
• Naples (campground): campsites, Naples Beach and Witch Cove Beach for campers, the five marked hiking trails, the nature center and the amphitheater.
• Between them on State Park Road: Songo Lock and the free Veteran's Fishing Pier.

See parking and directions.

Through the Seasons

• Summer: lifeguards at the day-use beach, the campground at its busiest, Songo Lock running daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. See the beaches and the campground.
• Fall: the lock runs until October 15, and campsites become first-come, first-served after the reservation season closes in mid-September.
• Winter: 5.5 miles of groomed ski and snowshoe trails on the Casco side, ungroomed trails in Naples, winter camping by phone, and late-forming lake ice. See winter.
• Late winter and spring: campground reservations for Sebago open on the first business day of February, ahead of every other Maine state park; the lock reopens May 1.

Accessibility

The Bureau rates Sebago Lake State Park as having "Good Access":

• Accessible: day-use parking, restrooms, picnic tables, the nature center, the group use area and picnic shelter, the trailered boat launch, telephones, campground check-in, campsites, campground restrooms, showers and hookups.
• Accessible with assistance: the beach (a beach wheelchair is available) and the RV dump station (help needed to flush the hose).
• Generally accessible: lake views and the hand-carry boat launch.
• Somewhat accessible: the playground and the day-use trails; the river trail is best.
• The Songo Lock Veteran's Fishing Pier is an ADA-compliant platform at the meeting of the Songo and Crooked rivers.

Call the park ahead for details on accessible campsites.

What to Bring

• Cash for the entry fee. Only some Maine parks take cards, and only when the booth is staffed.
• A leash, if your dog is coming, and remember dogs cannot go into the campground or onto the beach from April to September. See dogs.
• Local firewood only, or buy it in the park. The Bureau asks visitors not to move firewood, which can spread forest pests.
• A Maine fishing license if you plan to fish. See fishing.
• Your own trash bags: parts of the park are carry in, carry out.

Programs and Events

The Bureau says many family campgrounds offer evening and campfire programs; call the park for its schedule. The Bureau's event calendar lists programs open to day visitors too.

Safety

Check the Bureau's Safety Updates page and the park's text alerts before you go. Test lake ice every few feet in winter, and swim where lifeguards can see you in summer.
