Local Guide

Lake Access in Lake Stevens

My quick guide to the public spots to hit the water. Numbers below match the map.

⏳ Local Note: Crowds & Parking

Summer gets busy at all access points—parking fills fast. Lundeen, Davies, and North Cove offer the most robust parking. Lundeen remains my personal favorite for the playground and sandy beach.

1

Davies Beach

Sandy swim area and dock; good parking, but crowds build fast on hot afternoons.

2

North Cove Park

Downtown waterfront; easy to pair with coffee or a walk around the cove.

3

Lundeen Park

Playground + sandy beach + dock; plenty of parking. My go-to with littles.

4

Sunset Cove Park

Smaller access; steps to water. Low-key sunset spot and perfect kayak put-in.

5

North Lakeshore Beach

Neighborhood swim area; limited street parking—quietest on weekday mornings.

6

Public Boat Launch

Public ramp with trailer parking; fills up fast on summer weekends.
