Get around
Windham has an extremely limited public transportation system. You will not find taxi cabs driving around waiting to pick patrons up. If you need a cab, you will need to call one.
The best way to get around Windham is by driving. During the summer months, and height of the tourist season, traffic in North Windham can become backed up. This is due to the fact that many people travel through Windham to Sebago Lake and Highland Lake.
