Lake Stephens is a 2300-acre county park with a 272-acre pristine mountain lake and 1900 acres of hardwood forest.  Opened in the late 1960’s, the park has maintained its rustic charm.  With all of the updated conveniences, it’s a great place for relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors.  In addition to the park itself, Beckley and the surrounding area offer numerous cultural and recreational opportunities.

The park is open April 15 to October 15 offering recreational opportunities such as hiking, camping, fishing, boating, and access to local attractions and events. Nine miles west of Beckley, in Raleigh County West Virginia, and twenty-five minutes from the New River Gorge National Park, makes the park a great place to camp in an RV or tent and enjoy the culture and natural resources of the area.
