Established
in 1992 and owned by the State of Maine, LGRP is leased by the towns of
Skowhegan and Canaan and managed by the Lake George Corporation, a nonprofit,
501(c) (3) organization. LGRP receives
no funding from the State of Maine and relies on contributions from businesses,
individual donors and program and gate fees to support operating costs from year
to year.
Each year approximately 20,000 people visit the park, utilizing the swimming
areas, picnic areas, the extensive trail system, boat launch and various buildings
on the 320-acre park.
The
park is also a destination for school groups, boy scouts and girl scouts
outings and other service learning organizations. During the summer, the park hosts Camp
Podooc for over 200 Skowhegan and Canaan children, offering a nature, arts camp
and swimming lessons for children in grades one through six.
