2 ramps and launches on this water

On this water we hold 2 boat ramps.

  • Seboomook Lake — Pittston Academy Grant — Pittston Academy Grant, Local.
  • Seboomook Lake — Seboomook Twp — Seboomook Twp, Local.

Fee and opening hours are blank for all 2 places in this list: a blank means we hold no such field, not that it is free or always open, and this list may not be complete.

What is hard here

Wind is the limit, not the fish: 5,921 acres of open water build a short steep chop, and there is no shelter in the middle. Only 2 public ramps are on file, so the launch decides where you fish.
