Sebago Trails Paddling Co. invites guests to experience the peaceful beauty of Maine’s Sebago Lakes Region by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. Founded by lifelong Mainers Bill Allen and Katelyn Perry, the team brings more than 30 yea...
Kate and Bill run an exceptionally smooth operation that makes getting on Sebago Lake effortless. Reviewers consistently praise how the staff greets paddlers by name, helps with equipment, and uses a convenient launch system that keeps your feet dry. The changing facilities and free parking add to the convenience, while the reasonable prices and flexible 24-hour cancellation policy remove any booking stress. Multiple visitors mention returning again and again, which speaks volumes. The experience itself centers on beautiful Panther Run, a peaceful stream off the main lake where you'll likely spot turtles, herons, and possibly even bald eagles. Staff members provide helpful maps and suggestions for routes, whether you're trying kayaking for the first time or bringing young kids for a paddleboard lesson. The equipment is well-maintained, and they even offer delivery to cabins if you prefer. It's the kind of place where someone might lend you ibuprofen when you have a headache, the small touches that turn a rental into a memorable day on the water.
Absolute first time kayaking experience for myself, my wife and our pup. Wasn’t sure how our curious beagle would take to being on the water so some initial trial and error was part of the plan. All of the staff members were super helpful and accommodating especially the young miss who helped us at the launch (we unfortunately didn’t catch her name). Even after me and the pup took a “welcome to kayaking” roll in the shallows, she patiently set us up with another rig that worked out better for the both of us. We decided to stay within the confines of less choppier water but the sights were everything we expected and more. From the online reservation to hanging up the paddles, Sebago Trails Paddling Co did an amazing job in making our first experience on the water unforgettable! Many thanks!!!
