- Sebago Lake State Park
When Sebago Lake State Park was established in 1938, it became one of Maine's first five state parks. It sits on 1,342 acres on the northern shore of the lake, and it is intersected by the Songo River.

Amenities include 250 campsites, a boat ramp, beaches, a fishing pier, trails, changing rooms, a snack shack, an amphitheater, a nature center, picnic tables, and more.
