Stephens Lake Park

A shorter circuit follows the water, while a longer perimeter route extends the walk through the park. The boardwalk and island shelter provide a different perspective on the lake without requiring a long hike.

Swimming and sprayground access are seasonal and have ended for the current year; follow the city's posted arrangements rather than entering the water from an ordinary path. Most seasonal restrooms and drinking fountains close after October 15, while the south-side restroom remains available year-round. Check current notices and shelter reservation requirements.
