<\/div>\n\nHalfway Mountain is just to the west of Diamond Mountain.\u00a0 Halfway Mountain can be accessed from the Reeves Meadow visitor center however, to avoid the crowds, it is best to start this loop from the\u00a0 Sebago Lake parking lot.\u00a0 From the Sebago Lake parking lot, walk to the lake and on the left is an unmarked trail.\u00a0 This trail follows the lake shoreline, weaving through the forest until to reach an open area and a dirt road over the levee that creates Lake Sebago.\u00a0 At the end of the levee is a private property driveway so it is best to walk up to Seven Lakes Drive before you access the levee.\u00a0 Walk Seven Lakes Drive for a short distance until you reach the Lake Sebago Dam.\u00a0 Cross the road and you will see red markers indicating the Tuxedo-Mt. Ivy trail.\u00a0 Step over the guard rail and scamper down the steep grade to the Stony Brook.<\/h4>\n
