We sure did. What a fantastic ride that is. We rented a nice big pontoon boat for the extended family. Went out to the sand bar at Sebago State Park. The channels are very well marked. I kind of liked the way Maine marks the hazards, it is very simple. Rocky areas in the middle of the lake are marked with a "hazard" marker, so we stayed way away from those. Black striped makers are for areas that have hazards (rocks, shallow areas etc) in between the marker and the shoreline.
Have never been in that area before, and I was very impressed. Sebago was a bit intimidating, as it just seems huge. I will say that with the prevailing NW wind and the orientation of Long Lake, it can sure get rough. Weds we came back from Sebago with 3-4 ft rollers. Made things interesting.
