Stephan Lake is a 316 +/- acre lake with just over 6.5 miles of shoreline. Stephan Lake is nestled amidst dramatic, rugged terrain typical of Alaska’s wilderness. It is framed by steep, towering mountain ranges that rise sharply from the lake’s shores. The lower elevations around the lake are blanketed in dense forests, dominated by coniferous trees like spruce, fir, and pine. As you ascend into the mountains, the landscape transitions to rocky.
