Stephens Lake Park is a park located in Columbia, Missouri. Today it serves as an arboretum with a lake, and a park spanning 116 acres. It is often used as a live music venue with the Roots N Blues Festival taking place here every year.
In the early 1800s the David Gordon House and Collins Log Cabin were built upon the land. A century later Stephens College purchased the land from the Gordon family. During the start of the 21st century, the city purchased the land and opened it to the public.
