Augusta, Maine - Fishermen who want to launch their boats early in the morning on Saturday, May 12, and for the remainder of the summer season at Sebago Lake State Park will need to purchase an Early Launch Permit.
Otherwise, they will have to wait until 9 a.m. for the gate to open in order to access the day use portion of the park in Casco, according to park officials.
This is the second year that the park has offered the Early Launch Permit, said Park Manager Matt McGuire.
"We have had a really good response to the Early Launch Permit, and we encourage anyone interested in finding out more to stop by the park office," McGuire said.
Sebago Lake State Park will resume its normal schedule of closing the Day Use entrance gates at sunset on Friday, May 11. The park gates normally are closed and locked at sunset each evening and opened at 9 a.m. daily.
The Early Launch Permit is $10 and includes the gate combination. The pass is available at the park office at 11 Park Access Road in Casco (Phone: 207-693-6231).
In a related matter, McGuire said that fishing is "very good right now - now is the time to be fishing" at the park. Reports are that salmon fishing is excellent, with fishermen quickly reaching their limits. Those who don't have boats also are finding success at Songo Locks, McGuire said.
"The fishermen are getting more successful every day," he said.
