Centered around its namesake, Lake Stevens offers gorgeous views of the Cascades and the charm of small-town life in a convenient location. Just 6 miles east of Everett and about an hour north of Seattle, the lake has both public and private shore lands, with sandy public beaches and public boat launches. Canoes, jet skis, airplanes, sailboats, surfboards, rowboats, windsurfers and activities like horseback riding, sunbathing, and fishing can all be enjoyed at Lake Stevens.
The city boasts 195 acres of parks and open space, and the 29-mile Centennial Trail runs through the city with easy access.
