Outdoor Winter Sports Beyond Point Sebago
Leave your winter cabin and experience a quintessential winter in Maine with a long list of outdoor activities and ski areas.
Island Lodge is just 30 minutes from fantastic skiing at Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton, ME. Previously known as Shawnee Peak, it’s the longest-operating ski resort in Maine.
If you like Sugarloaf Mountain in Carrabassett Valley, you’ll love Pleasant Mountain. The ski resorts are all owned by the same company.
Pleasant Mountain offers 44 downhill skiing trails with stunning views, lessons, equipment rentals, and night skiing. Big upgrades are currently underway.
If you’d rather cross-country ski, check out Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, ME. The 5,000 acre working farm is 30 minutes from Point Sebago Resort. Pineland Farms is open year round and features wellkept trails for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing, and fat biking. During the winter months, the farm also offers ice skating and sledding.
Maine Winter Beaches & Lakes
A bit further from Point Sebago, about an hour’s drive southeast, is Old Orchard Beach along the Atlantic Ocean.
A beach may not sound like somewhere you want to go in the winter, but if you dress warmly, you’ll enjoy the scenery year-round. Don’t forget binoculars, as birdwatching is a popular wintertime activity in Maine.
You may spot ducks bobbing in and out of the water along Saco Bay, sandpipers skimming over the surface, or loons sp their mellow winter colors.
If you are hunting for a different type of winter fun, try ice fishing in Maine. Spending time on a frozen lake with friends and family is one of the best ways to bond and catch something tasty for dinner! If you’re lucky you might see some delicious land-locked salmon and trout.
