Sebago Trails Paddling Company is a paddling outfitter based in Raymond, California. The company offers a comprehensive lineup of rentals, guided tours, and instructional lessons that let visitors explore local and regional waterways. Rentals range from half-day launches to multi-day packages — Two Day, Three Day, Five Day, Six Day, and One Week options — all including watercraft, paddles, and personal flotation devices with a required waiver for each participant.
Guided experiences include a two-hour Sunset Tour through Panther Pond and Sebago Lake led by a knowledgeable Maine Guide, and a Scenic Sebago Lake Historical Tour that combines kayaking fundamentals with local wildlife and regional history. Instructional offerings cover skill development with a three-hour Kayak Lesson and a three-hour Paddleboard Lesson that teach safety techniques, rescues, and craft handling.
Practical details are explicit: participants can park at the shop and launch from a private site for half-day rentals, and every rental package provides essential safety equipment. Waivers are required to ensure clear expectations and liability management. The business emphasizes accessible experiences for all skill levels by offering easy guided tours and structured lessons.
Marketing and operations focus on clear, factual descriptions of trip lengths, included equipment, and safety measures. By listing exact rental durations and the presence of a Maine Guide for select tours, Sebago Trails provides transparent information that helps prospective paddlers make informed booking decisions. Booking information, availability, and rental policies are provided directly through the company to help guests plan safe paddling excursions when available by phone.
