If you live 5 minutes away from the lake, I've got about 4 minutes on you.Originally posted by Johnshan1:<br /> Chris I didnt say "everyone" I said "a lot" I think your reading too much into this but I bet a lot of people (not everyone) would still agree with me here.
I'm assuming that like me you're a native of the area. <br /><br />I suppose a lot depends on ones definition of 'crowded'. In the late '80s and early '90s there was definitely an influx of people coming here because they were fed up with the overcrowding at Winnepesaukee, but that has died down. Even the locks on the Songo don't usually back up much except on the weekends. <br /><br />You don't even see anywhere as many fisherman on the lake. I don't know how much of that is because the state stopped stocking it, their cautions about eating the fish, or something else that may or may not be related to either of these. <br /><br />As for 'yahoos', most of the ones I had experienced on Sebago were in 2 areas, occasionally you would see some impatient twit cutting off other boaters running out the channel at the mouth of the Songo at Thompson Point but the worst offenders were the idiots pulling waterskiers off the now-closed private beach just west of the state park camping area; some of those SOBs acted as though they had never heard of the Rules of the Road. <br /><br />Oh, as for the state park, I don't know if I could recommend that anyone stay there nowadays.
