Sebago Lake State Park is a state-operated, public recreation area on the north shore of Sebago Lake in the towns of Naples and Casco, Cumberland County, Maine. It was opened in 1938 as one of Maine's original five state parks. The park is mostly forested, covering approximately 1,400 acres (570 ha), and is open year-round.[3] It is divided into east and west sections by the Songo River.[4]

Activities and amenities

The park offers 250 campsites in two campgrounds, Naples Beach and Witch Cove, each with beaches and boat ramps. Boating and swimming are also available at the day-use area in the park's east section. Other park features include hiking trails and roadway biking.[3]
