Songo Lock is the only remaining part of the original Cumberland and Oxford Canal, which was in operation from 1832 to 1847, and ran from Harrison, ME to Casco Bay.
After socializing and watching the lock in action we will take a leisurely ride around Sebago Lake, with opportunities to view a few remaining vestiges of the Cumberland and Oxford Canal, returning to the Ocean House Farm for a real Maine Lobster Bake with lobster, steamers, corn on the cob, potatoes, and whatever else we can throw together.
For those having lobster, the price is $30 for 1 lobster (and all of the other fixings) and $10 for each additional lobster desired. Payment can be cash, credit, or Venmo, at the farm.
For those choosing no lobster, who wish to provide their own repast, a grill will be available.
