Recreation
In 1938, Maine opened Sebago Lake State Park as one of its original five state parks. The area was a recreation center even before this. The park is now 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) (mostly forested), open year-round, and has facilities including two public boat launches and a 250-site campground. There are also numerous private campgrounds (like Point Sebago in Casco which is 775 acres (3.14 km2)), cottages, and other recreational facilities in the area.
Sebago Lake also hosts the only inland lakes Sailing School and Charter service in Sebago Sailing, Inc. (www.sebagosailing.com). They are one of only 3 American Sailing Association certified sailing schools in Maine.
Sebago Lake is in the portion of Maine that the Maine tourism industry refers to as the Western Lakes and Mountains Region.

Famous quotes containing the word recreation:
“Playing snooker gives you firm hands and helps to build up character. It is the ideal recreation for dedicated nuns.”
—Archbishop Luigi Barito (b. 1922)
“Media mystifications should not obfuscate a simple, perceivable fact; Black teenage girls do not create poverty by having babies. Quite the contrary, they have babies at such a young age precisely because they are poor—because they do not have the opportunity to acquire an education, because meaningful, well-paying jobs and creative forms of recreation are not accessible to them ... because safe, effective forms of contraception are not available to them.”
—Angela Davis (b. 1944)
