There are too many to list here! Check out Launch Sites our tab for a bunch of public launch points and recommended paddles.

We offer rental rates starting from half day options to 7+ days. We consider a day any 24 hour period and a week is considered any consecutive 7 days. So, you can rent anywhere from a single day for an afternoon paddle or two, to a few days to a few weeks, giving ample opportunity to explore the water around your cabin.

An average paddler can achieve 1 to 3 mph for extended periods of time. Someone who is strong and experienced could reach 4 to 6 mph. Paddling with or against the tide of currents also affects traveling time. So, The answer would be anywhere from less than 10 minutes, to more than an hour, depending on the paddler and conditions. Paddling on flat water lakes, ponds and streams, plan on 20 to 30 minutes per mile; but take a little longer to explore and have fun!

Yes! Recreational kayaking is beginner friendly. If you're comfortable around the water, we can teach you the basics in about 10–15 minutes before you head out. For those looking to build their skills, we also offer paddling instruction.

Sebago Trails Paddling recommends everyone wear their life jackets

• Dress for the conditions. What you wear depends on the weather and water conditions, but always choose clothing that dries quickly since you will likely get wet from paddle drips, wave spray, and splashing.

• Hot weather: Wear a swimsuit or quick-drying shorts, a moisture-wicking T-shirt, and a hat for sun protection.

• Protect yourself from the sun: Sunlight reflects off the water, increasing UV exposure. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.

• Best footwear options: Old sneakers, water shoes, or sandals with secure heel straps provide good protection and stay on your feet.

• Cool or cold weather: Wear synthetic, moisture-wicking layers under a nylon or waterproof outer shell. Avoid cotton because it absorbs and holds water, making you colder.

• Water & Snacks!

Do you have enough to share? Yes! Bring plenty of water to stay hydrated and pack snacks for energy. There is room for a small cooler, making it easy to bring lunch or drinks. Please remember to carry-in/ carry-out all trash and items.
