Paddling near South Portland, ME

Set on the western shore of Casco Bay in Cumberland County, South Portland puts paddlers minutes from one of Maine's premier sea-kayaking environments—a bay holding more than 200–365 islands, coves, and inlets reached from the East End Beach launch across the harbor. Inland, the Presumpscot River runs 25 miles from Sebago Lake, Maine's deepest lake, while Scarborough Marsh just south offers tidal channels through the largest salt marsh in the state.
