Official wording
Boaters and campers enjoy the Sebec Lake region through warm weather months, followed by hunters in October and November and ice fishermen and snowmobilers in mid-winter. Fishing on Sebec Lake for salmon and trout is usually best in the weeks following ice out (typically early to mid-May) or when the waters cool in September. Peaks-Kenny State Park is open and staffed from May 15 through September 30. The main entrance gate opens daily at 7:00 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. The day-use area is open daily from 9 a.m. until sunset. Advance reservations are recommended for this popular campground. On the first workday in February, the State Park Reservations Office (800-332-1501in Maine, 207-624-9950 from outside Maine or online at www.campwithme.com) begins accepting campsite reservations for dates between May 22 and September 10. Reservations must be made at least 2 business days in advance with a minimum 2-night stay required. On sunny days in June, July, and August, the day-use area can fill to capacity (and a waiting line is established). To avoid waiting in line, plan to arrive before 11:00a.m.
