More on Sebec Lake:

Located in central Maine's Piscataquis River Valley, Sebec Lake is surrounded by a land of recreational opportunity. Whether you come to relax in New England's rural countryside or accept the challenge of the Appalachian Trail, Sebec Lake has it all. Boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, canoeing, scenic drives and wildlife viewing are among the many activities found in the Maine Highlands region that surrounds Sebec Lake.

A scenic 45-mile drive northwest of Bangor takes you to the rolling hills and wooded shoreline of Lake Sebec. The 11-mile long lake is formed on the Sebec River by the Sebec Dam. Twice a year Sebec Lake's water level is lowered from its average depth of 42 feet to encourage the salmon spawning.

More than 800 properties are tucked among the trees surrounding Sebec Lake. Whether you select a lakeside or countryside vacation rental, the lake will provide the perfect home away from home. Here you can wake to fresh mountain air, plan your daytime excursions, and relax to the calling of loons at the end of a perfect day. Visitor needs are served by the quaint communities of Dover-Foxcroft, Bowerbank, Milo, Willimantic and Sebec.

Peaks-Kenny State Park is near the community of Dover-Foxcroft. Here you will find 813 acres offering campsites, picnic areas, restrooms, showers, a bathhouse and beach. Several public parks and ramps can be found along Sebec Lake's shoreline, concentrated in the communities of Dover-Foxcroft, Sebec and the village of Sebec Lake. The Milo Public Boat Landing provides access to Sebec Lake from the Sebec River.

Maine's Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Department places Sebec Lake in Region E (Moosehead Region). They state that the pristine waters of Sebec Lake are one of the original homes of landlocked salmon in Maine. Stocked lake trout can also be found along with smallmouth bass and white perch.

The dramatic view that spans Sebec Lake's horizon includes Mount Katahdin. At 5,267 feet, it is Maine's highest mountain and the end of the Appalachian Trail. To the north of Sebec Lake is Borestone Mountain. Here you can hike the trails of the 1,640-acre Borestone Mountain Audubon Sanctuary or visit their interpretive nature center. Located within the shadows of the mountains are Moosehead Lake, Maine's largest lake, and Baxter State Park, where you can enjoy hiking, climbing and camping.

Whether you choose to canoe, kayak, bike, hike or drive into Sebec Lake's countryside, the scenery is spectacular. Not to be missed are the nineteenth-century Katahdin Iron Works State Historic Site and two National Natural Landmarks. The first is Gulf Hagas, a 3.5-mile long gorge that is part of the Appalachian Trail. In contrast to the rugged bedrock of the gorge, "The Hermitage" holds 35 acres of Maine's oldest white pines and is protected by the Nature Conservancy.

Summer is not the only busy season at Sebec Lake. When "leaf peepers" arrive to view the spectacular color around Lake Sebec, thoughts turn to camping, hiking and the chance to hunt. Among the wildlife to be found in the forests or game preserves are black bear, moose, deer, elk and game birds. During the winter, Sebec Lake residents can expect to see temperatures approach zero with area snowfalls averaging 85 inches annually. This is the season for ice fishing, snowmobiles, skis, snowshoes and dogsleds. No matter the season or choice of recreation, a stay at Sebec Lake will place you central to it all.

Check in was easy. We had a fun week, reading and coffee on the deck. Waterboarding, fishing and kayaking on the warm clear lake.We had a wonderful week. Raf was easy to contact and promptly fixed the issues we had.

What a pleasant surprise to be in a home that has a real live in feel about it, with all the amenities to make a stay so tranquil and peaceful. We had a thunderstorm one night, but in looking back, it added to the cozy, local feel. I had occasion to speak with the owner and found him very comforting and reassuring about a problem that we encountered (did not feel that we would be faulted in any way for the situation and that all was fine). Just a great, warm time together in the perfect setting.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2024
Absolute perfection. Quiet, beautiful, cozy, and inspiring. The physical dwelling is stunning- the consideration to detail in the design is noteworthy, and waking up to the floor to ceiling window view over the lake was something of dreams. Everything delivered as promised and then some! If I HAVE to find a critique, it would be that it was a little difficult to get the kayaks/paddleboards to the water from where they are stowed, but I have a hunch the water level was super low and that issue isn't the norm. The exterior of the property is somehow more impressive than the interior, nestled in the trees and buzzing with wildlife. From morning mallards, mid afternoon Bald Eagles, to the late night coyotes howling at the moon, this beautiful spot makes it impossible to ignore your connection to Mother Nature. A truly serene escape to focus on little else than loved ones and enjoying the landscape of God's canvas. We will certainly be back! Stop thinking and book this one- unless I'm trying to schedule a trip back at the same time- then don't:)
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2022
The house itself is lovely and the owners very responsive. If two adult couples want to stay in this home, it is perfect. However, it is advertised for up to twelve people and we felt it is was woefully under equipped for a group that size (which we were). When we arrived, there was no bedding for the sofa bed (which we needed) and because it was in a locked closet we could not access it until the following morning so some of our group spent the night on a bare mattress with a sofa pillow. There was no laundry detergent in the house, (no store closer than 30 minutes) and less than half of the bath linens needed for a group our size. While those issues were resolved the next day, it began our stay with a LOT of frustration. (Again, the owners were very responsive, very gracious, and quick to address the issues. ) It is important to note that there were no blankets or throws in the house to cuddle outside with on cool evenings or for watching movies or snuggling by the fire. (This has been noted in other reviews). There was also no reading material in the house, which is different from other VRBO homes we have stayed in. Again, lovely home for an adults getaway-would not recommend for a large group or a family with younger children.
