Sebago Lake is Maine's second largest lake, with water so pure that it provides drinking water to the greater Portland area.
Before you head out on the lake, you should stop by the Good Life Market in Raymond, a one-stop shop, and grab a picnic lunch. It's located right on the beaten path at 1297 Roosevelt Trail, Rte. 302, across from the Panther Run Picnic Area and just up the road from the Raymond Boat Launch.
In fact, Ethan, who manages The Good Life Market for Walt and Linda Manchester, says, "We get lots of business from people with camps and boaters on the lake."
Open daily from 7 a.m. till 7 p.m., The Good Life Market offers a variety of sandwiches. My favorites are "Summer in Italy" with fresh mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, sliced tomatoes and basil pesto on split focaccia.
Also favorites are "Erin Go Bragh" with Boar's Head corned beef, horseradish sauce, cheddar cheese, sliced pickles and red onion on multi-grain bread, and "Blue Moon Chicken Salad Wrap" with white meat chicken salad, blue cheese, toasted walnuts, dried cranberries, and baby spinach on a choice of white, wheat or spinach tortilla.
But wait, this is The Good Life Market and they offer plenty more!
Try locally raised natural beef and bison, imported and specialty cheeses, fresh produce, and a very large wine selection, which Ethan says, "Rivals everything in the lakes region,".
For staples try the fresh Borealis and Big Sky breads and Maine Roasters Coffee.
For personal pampering try a selection of fine liquor and spirits, local and specialty beers, personal care products, free movies to borrow and fresh CIGARS!!
Now if that isn't THE GOOD LIFE, what is?
Mark your calendar for the next wine tasting from 11-7 on Saturday, September 19th. Wine tastings are free and occur every month. Check their Web site for dates.

If you're renting a lakefront camp or cabin this summer in Maine, your vacation is not complete until you've fully enjoyed the fun and beauty of our area lakes and ponds.
The Causeway Marina on Brandy Pond sits beside the moveable swing bridge in Naples, right in the heart of the Sebago Lakes Region. It has been family owned and operated for the last twenty years and been helping customers enjoy the fun and beauty of our Maine lakes all that time.
Though it's small in size, Causeway Marina offers big amenities. The owners, Dan and Dawn Allen, proudly claim the longest fuel dock (130′) in the Lakes Region as well as the largest boat rental operation in Maine.
Dan says, "We're very busy for the next few weeks ... for as long as the good weather holds."
This full-service marina offers the fuel dock mentioned above, sales and service, parts and accessories, boat slips, service and repair, storage, towing and even sunken boat retrieval. They make boat rentals easy by providing a rental form on-line at their Web site.
During the winter months, you can choose to store your boat in their 40,000 square-foot indoor storage faciltiy or outside where they have acres of storage. Shrink wrapping is also available.
On-site at the Causeway Marina, you'll find the handy ship store, which carries all of your boating needs, and the Tiki Bar and Grille. If you like to hang out near your boat at night, you can join other boaters at the firepit for a campfire.
There's a special cameraderie amongst boat owners at this marina.
Since the Causeway Marina is located between Long Lake and Sebago Lake, you'll find yourself situated in the heart of the Lakes Region. From here, you'll have plenty of water to ski, tube, fish or just drift and quietly explore.
