Where I Mindfully Explore

My favorite thing to do here is rent one of the available motorboats and explore the surrounding bodies of land scattered around Lake Sebago. There are a few islands that aren’t owned by anyone where you can stop and lay on the rocks, explore the tidepools, and meditate in the surrounding nature.

There is one island that has a massive rock and many people visit it to jump off into the beautiful water below. My family and I routinely visit this jump spot when we are in the area and it is always a highlight of the trip. However, through research, I found a super interesting tidbit about this spot. It is actually called Frye’s Leap, named after Captain Frye, who is alleged to have jumped off of it onto the frozen lake to escape from Indigenous peoples. I can’t believe I had never heard this narrative, especially for as many times as I had been there and wondered why there wasn’t an informational plaque at the site.
