All you need to bring is your fishing pole, tackle and a fishing license. Life jackets are included! The fishing in this lake is great, especially in August, when the pike are really biting.
Can I swim in Stevens Lake? Yes, you can... The area by the cottage has a sandy bottom just out so far, so wading for young children is good. The bottom starts to get soft toward the end of the dock. For swimming, you can take the boat out to the middle of the lake or across the lake where there is a larger sandy bottom.

Email from guest of Heaven on Stevens Lake - Hi, Lisa. We had a great week at "Heaven." The weather was perfect. I'm certain we would have caught more fish if we had been willing to get up early in the morning, but in our view, vacations are for sleeping in. We caught lots of small perch, blue gill and small mouth bass, which was a lot of fun, and on the last day I managed to land a five-pound large mouth bass - obviously the highlight of the fishing experience. We thought the place was great!! We had a nice vacation and truly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the lake house and the surrounding area. Best wishes, Joanne.

Email from guest of Heaven on Stevens Lake - Lisa: I really want to thank you for such a wonderful place. I grew up with a father that was a Game Warden. Need I say more. I love the outdoors, animals, etc., and the environment you provided was really so long overdue. Since moving from PA five years ago, I have missed this type of environment as I am living near the city. I truely am not a city person. I sure hope to take a break again and visit you. It is giving me an itch to look for a cabin closer to home to purchase near a lake. I don't know if I want the responsibility, however. Maybe when I retire which will be in about three years, I HOPE! Again, thank you. Cathy

Email from guest of Heaven on Stevens Lake - Yes, we did catch a lot of fish. We were a bit surprised at the other entries stating the lake didn't produce. The biggest pike was 26" the biggest large mouth was 21" ( he went back), the biggest small mouth was 17", the biggest perch was 12", the biggest blue gill was 11 and 1/8". We have lots of pictures and I plan on emailing some to you once I load them on my computer. You may use some on your website for advertising if you'd like. We went to Bear Lake, Chicago Lake, Lyman Lake, JackPine Lake and Mowe Lake. I love driving all the small 2-track roads. We saw a ton of deer and enjoyed seeing the bucks in velvet. It was truly a great trip.
