Community

This scenic area includes giant Sebago Lake, the second largest body of water in the state. The Abnaki Indians named this body of water Sebago, meaning "large open water." For a great lakeside campground, Point Sebago has everything you need on vacation including an 18-hole championship golf course. Long Lake is unique for its connection to Sebago Lake via the Songo River, through a unique lock system dating back to 1830 which is still navigable today and can be seen on a guided cruise aboard the Songo Queen paddleboat. The year round communities of this region are rich in history as well as attractions. The Jones Museum in Sebago is the only devoted collection of glass and ceramics in the country. Other fascinating tours include the Naples Historical Society, the 1793 Shaker community located in New Gloucester, and the Poland Spring bottling plant. Kezar Lake, the Androscoggin and Saco rivers each have special qualities to enjoy along their shores.

 

 

Schools
