The lake is deep at its deepest point, with a mean depth of , covers about in surface area, has a length of and a shoreline length of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Portland Water District, Portland Maine )〕 The surface is around above sea level, so the deep bottom is below the present sea level.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Maine Geological Survey, Department of Conservation, State of Maine )〕 It is located in Cumberland County, Maine, and bordered by the towns of Casco, Naples, Raymond, Sebago, Standish and Windham. The seasonally occupied town of Frye Island is on an island in the lake. ==Transportation== The lake is connected to Brandy Pond by the Songo River and eventually to Long Lake in Naples. The name comes from a local Native American tribe. The lake is drained primarily by the Presumpscot River. The lake and rivers were an early transportation corridor from the coast to the interior, and encouraged the first incorporated European settlement of interior Maine in 1762. Sebago Lake was linked to Portland harbor by the Cumberland and Oxford Canal in 1832. The outlet to the Presumpscot River was controlled for the canal by the Eel Weir Dam and the Head Dam, owned and operated by the Oriental Powder Company after the canal was replaced by a railroad〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Basin Dam War )〕 and by the S. D. Warren Paper Mill after 1878.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Portland Water District, Portland Maine )〕 The lake was a comparatively safe place for training military pilots from NAS Brunswick about flying over water; but several navy planes were lost over the lake during World War II. A TBF Avenger from the Lewiston Naval Auxiliary Air Facility ditched and sank near Raymond on 16 August 1943. Two low-flying British F4U Corsairs from Brunswick were lost after a mid-air collision over the lake near Raymond on 16 May 1944; and a third Corsair flew into the lake on July 16.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The ultimate sacrifice; wreck sites a reminder of military plane disasters )〕 In December 2014 the first Sebago Lake beach landing in the history of the world was made by a yellow Supercub.
