Sebago Lake State Park Conditions & Activities

Park & Trail Conditions

April 30, 2024 | The campground is now scheduled to open by 05/20/2024. This is due to large investments in paving and heavy construction that will aid park infrastructure for years to come. During this closure we are also addressing significant tree damage by removing debris as fast as possible. Also, Maine DOT has closed the swing bridge until May 11 due to high water and trees in the river. <a href="https://www.maine.gov/mdot/news/">https://www.maine.gov/mdot/news/</a> This means Songo Lock operations will resume on May 11. The day use area, found at 11 Park Access Rd. in Casco, remains open to visitors from 9AM to Sunset. Expect delays during the ongoing paving activities. Tree debris is an ongoing work in progress throughout the park. Thank you for your patience and understanding while these improvements continue.
