Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Start at Point Sebago Beach and Glide into Hidden Coves

The paddle launches from Point Sebago Beach and takes you past shorelines of towering pines, rocky outcrops and cottage-dotted bays as you explore small islands and coves along Sebago Lake.

THE WILDLIFE

Secluded Inlets where Wildlife Shows Up

Much of the route threads into quieter inlets and around islands, offering repeated chances to spot lake birds and other local wildlife while paddling at an easy, self-paced rhythm.

THE PACE

A Leisurely 90-Minute Outing for All Skill Levels

Designed as a 90-minute rental, the trip is intentionally relaxed—long enough to reach Dingley Islands and Big Bay without committing to a full-day excursion, making it ideal for first-timers and the casually adventurous.

What the day feels like

What the 1 1/2 Hour Rental Feels Like

After check-in and a brief orientation, you push off from Point Sebago’s shore with a paddle, map and life jacket provided. The next 90 minutes alternate open-water stretches and tight, tree-lined coves as you paddle at your own pace—stopping to peer at channels, skirt islands or simply lean back and take in the granite and pine framing the lake.
