Sebago Lake

In the American state of Maine, Sebago Lake is the second-largest and deepest lake. The lake has a maximum depth of 316 feet (96 meters) and a mean depth of 101 feet (31 m). Sebago may be the deepest lake entirely enclosed within the New England region, despite some sources claiming that Lake Willoughby in Vermont is somewhat deeper.

Sebago has a surface area of around 45 square miles (117 km2), is 14 miles (23 km) long, and has a shoreline that extends for about 105 miles (169 km). The deep bottom is below the current sea level because the surface is about 270 feet (82 m) above sea level. Its neighbors include the towns of Casco, Naples, Raymond, Sebago, Standish, and Windham. It is located in Cumberland County.

The lake island where Frye Island, a seasonal settlement, is located. Due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and Mt. Washington, a well-known hotspot for extreme weather, Sebago Lake and the surrounding area are renowned for their unpredictable and rapid variations in weather throughout the year. The Abenaki word sobagoo, which means "it is the sea" or "it resembles the sea," is where the name originates.
