Lake Stephens

Escape to Lake Stephens and enjoy the great outdoors. Developed around the site of an old camp for trappers and hunters, the area dates back to 1792. The 272-acre mountain lake sits in the middle of a 2,000-acre hardwood forest and offers disc golf, boating, fishing and swimming as well as over 20 miles of hiking and biking trails. Lounge on the beach or take the family to the aqua water park and sprinkler pad for a day of fun. And with seven cabin rentals ranging in size and options for RV and tent camping (May-October), you can stay and play at Lake Stephens.
