Description
The Portland Water District purchased the Station at Sebago Lake from the Maine Central Railroad in 1935; this purchase included all of the lands fronting the Lake, including the wharves and other structures at the Station.
This view is likely the beach and boats on the grounds in front of the abandoned Sebago Lake Station before the buildings were removed.
The Maine Central Railroad decided to sell the property to the District due to a decline in railroad operations and use of its grounds for picnics and other recreational activities.
