The Destruction of Sebago Lake State Park Beach

May 6, 2000. High water levels cover Songo Beach at Sebago Lake State Park. Lake levels were exacerbated by a state lake level plan that maintains artificially high lake levels for much of the spring and summer.

Note the recently exposed tree roots in the lower photo, where wave action has eroded and removed the layer of sand and soil around the roots.
