Sebago State Park: Beaver Lodge Trail

No beavers, but we did spy this basking turtle.

Sebago Lake State Park - Caroline, Miss Penny and Mike on another after work hike around a beaver pond. We've snowshoed this before, which is an even better workout. 

At just under 1 mile long, the Beaver Lodge Trail rises and descends gently through deciduous forest, emerging at the banks of Horseshoe Pond. Great for wildlife enthusiasts, this trail winds past a porcupine den, through areas frequented by deer and the occasional moose, to the site of a formerly active beaver colony, where birds, amphibians and wetland plants abound.

Campers can also enjoy the nature center located in the campground. Visitors are welcome to view and touch the many exhibits that are in the building. In addition to guided nature hikes, the camper can also enjoy canoe trips along the Songo River and Sebago Lake. There also are many evening presentations at the park's amphitheater including movies on certain nights of the week as well as many featured speakers.  MORE
