The Innkeepers and Staff at the White Pines Inn at Sebago Lake welcome you to explore each of the four seasons in the heart of Maine’s picturesque countryside.  When it comes to spending time in Vacationland, there truly is More to Maine!

Summer activities are too numerous to list and include golfing, water-skiing, fishing, antiquing or simply lounging in the sun.  We are just minutes from a public boat launch and beach on Sebago Lake and within modest walking distance to Sebago Lake's Best Kept Secret.  Sebago Lake, Maine’s second largest lake (47 square miles of waterway) offers some of the best swimming, boating and fishing in Maine and New England.  Pineland Farms, located about 25 minutes away is home to one of People Places & Plants magazine's top ten public flower gardens.  There are also tennis courts, walking and hiking trails all in the surroundings of a working farm!  Our Region also has several dozen Resident Summer Camps on the shores of Sebago Lake, Panther Pond, Coffee Pond, Crescent Lake, Crystal Lake, Long Lake, Brandy Pond, Pleasant Lake.  The White Pines Inn is perfectly positioned for hosting you when dropping off and picking up, visiting or spending a few days during family camp.

Fall foliage transforms the hills surrounding Sebago Lake into a blaze of colors seen even more brilliantly through the crisp and sparkling autumn air.  Be sure to take a ride onto Quaker Ridge Road in Casco to savor the view of the White Mountains and Mount Washington or walk atop Hacker's Hill to view an even more spectacular panorama.  Use the White Pines at Sebago Lake as your home base for foliage or when you visit Fryeburg Fair.  Be sure to stop at one of the local apple orchards as well and keep in mind that Babb's Covered Bridge, originally built in 1843 and located just minutes away in Windham, Maine is the perfect backdrop to a family photo.

In the winter, skiers find many splendid facilities for both alpine and cross-country skiing.  We are located just 25 minutes from Shawnee Peak and less than an hour from the slopes at Sunday River.  If you're looking for snowmobiling - it is unsurpassed in Maine!  As a member of the Maine Snowmobile Association, we’ll have complementary maps of Maine Snowmobile Trails for you.  Once the lakes and ponds are frozen and safe, it's just a short ride to the trails of Raymond, Casco and Naples or you can access ITS trails in nearby Bridgton and go to points far and beyond.  Click here for detailed information on accessing the trails from the White Pines.  Don’t forget the ice fishing!  Watch the flags go up at the annual Ice Fishing Derby on Sebago Lake which has proven to be a hit year after year.  This is a slice of Americana that you don't want to miss.

Spring in Maine is a magnificent experience.  Once the snow and ice melt away and the flowers and trees begin to show their green, biking along back roads or hiking beside lakes or in surrounding hills provide a true experience of recreation and relaxation.  For the fishing enthusiast, Spring marks the time to fish for land-locked salmon which abound in Sebago Lake awaiting your lure and line.  At your request, we can recommend a premier guide service that has the knowledge and experience that it takes to fish a large body of water such as Sebago.

A shopper’s dream come true! Easy access to L.L. Bean and the dozens of Freeport Shopping Outlets, the Outlets in Kittery, Maine and North Conway, New Hampshire -- each less than an hour's drive.  Not to mention the fabulous local merchants that stock supplies of  quality handmade and Maine Made, America's Best products.

Looking for the ocean or lighthouses?  Portland's Historic Old Port and Ocean Beaches are just 30 minutes away.  Fort Williams, Two Lights, DiMillo's floating Restaurant, Portland Stage Company, the attractions and culture of Portland make for a perfect day trip when staying in the Sebago region.

Mountains, Ocean and Forest - we truly have it all here in Maine.  The Southeast Corner of the White Mountain National Forest is less than an hour's drive.  Grafton Notch State Park located just north of Bethel on Route 26 has several unique natural features such as Screw Auger Falls, Moose Cave and Mother Walker Falls Gorge.  We highly recommend the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer published by Delorme for helping you find your way around the wondrous State of Maine.  For those interested in nature trails, the Sebago Lake Land Reserve is located just 5 miles from us and offers 1700 acres of publicly accessible land for a variety of uses.  Also be sure to visit the Portland Water District's Ecology Center for free and fascinating information on the Sebago Lake Watershed and the efforts being made to preserve this invaluable natural resource.

You will enjoy championship golf at any one of three courses in the immediate area.  Play a round on the shores of Brandy Pond at the Naples Golf Course and Country Club, or perhaps on the challenging surroundings of Spring Meadows in neighboring Gray, Maine - which according to GolfStyles New England magazine is "...among the 100 must play courses in New England."  Point Sebago, just up the road on Route 302 offers a very nice course as well and for those looking for a twist, take the ferry to Frye Island for a round on their nine-hole course.
