Saturday was Dover Days (similar to Summerfest in St. Albans) with fireworks shot over Sebec Lake at night. So in commemoration of my mom's birthday (she passed away last June), we rented a pontoon boat for the afternoon and evening. A rainstorm came through earlier in the day so our timing was great and we had an excellent time exploring Sebec Lake for the first time!
Only the smallest pontoon boat was available for the day but they are so cute and fun… even the kids were able to captain the helm! Of course mom and dad don't mind being chauffeured at all...
In a cove we found these giant granite boulders for the kids to swim around…
And one of the many adorable lake camps. I should've taken way more photos of these!
Margarita time!
Once the sun was setting, we were very glad to have long sleeves and sweaters. The evening cooled down considerably and I (being the biggest wimp of all) was glad to have my big blanket! We actually managed to upgrade to a larger pontoon that became available for the evening to watch the fireworks. That was a treat! I would highly recommend renting boats at the little marina (Tim Merrill's)! For $100-170 + gas you can have a blast cruising the expansive and beautiful Sebec Lake near Dover-Foxcroft. We can't wait to go back!
