The park was recently featured on a list of the “top 10 places to cool down in the summer” by the Chronicle Herald. Since 2016, the forested area of the park has been open for all to explore thanks to the accessible Lakeview Trail. These days, the lake itself has become even easier for all to enjoy. This past July, the Long Lake Adventure Company opened its doors to the public. The company offers kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals to make it easier for people to get out on the lake and enjoy all four corners of the park.
The Long Lake Adventure Company is a small business located at the boat launch in Long Lake Park (75 Old Sambro Road) for those looking for a more specific address."
