Snowmobiling, ice fishing, and wildlife abound during the winter months on the lake.
Tarkill Pond, at the very lower end of the lower lake has snow mobiles racing back and forth almost every weekend.
On the middle lake there are ice fishing shacks and a report of twenty three trucks on the lake!
One late December morning, I observed a cat walking across the frozen lake. The cat appeared larger the closer it got, until it was clear this was not a house cat. As he got even closer to my view from the window, it was obvious this was some sort of wildlife, and when his tail came into view, I know it was a bobcat. He sauntered across the lake and into the woods as only a cat can do. The squirrels offer a winter show, gathering food or retrieving stored fare and playfully running up down and around the tall pine trees. It is cold, below zero many a night, and if the wind picks up, its brutal. But winter on Little Sebago Lake offers an entirely different perspective from the carefree warm summer days.
