Sieverson Lake is a small, relatively undeveloped lake surrounded by a mixed hardwood and coniferous forest. There is only one lakeshore home, and one individual owns the majority of the surrounding shoreland. There is a state-owned public access on the north shore off State Highway 34. Sieverson Lake is ecologically best suited for Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, and panfish like Bluegills and Black Crappies.

In 2023, Northern Pike catches were close to average at about nine fish per gill net. The average length of sampled pike was 20 inches, and the average weight was 2 pounds. There is very little, if any, natural reproduction of Walleye in Sieverson Lake and periodic stocking sustains the modest population that exists. Walleye fingerlings have been stocked approximately every other year since their introduction in 1984. Walleye numbers are low, but still considered normal compared to similar lakes. Walleye sizes in Sieverson tend to be larger than the statewide average. During the 2023 survey, the average length of sampled Walleyes was 21 inches.
Bluegills and Black Crappies were sampled at normal rates of abundance compared to other ecologically similar lakes. Bluegills were primarily small, with an average length of six inches and only 3% of mature Bluegills measuring longer than eight inches. Bluegills in Sieverson Lake are somewhat slow growing and require almost nine years of growth to produce an eight-inch fish. The average length of Black Crappie was eight inches, with eight percent of Black Crappie measuring longer than 10 inches. Largemouth Bass sizes were good with fish averaging 15 inches and the largest bass captured measuring almost 19 inches.

Other fish species sampled in Sieverson Lake in 2023 include Black Bullhead, Yellow Bullhead, Pumpkinseed, Hybrid Sunfish, and Yellow Perch. Perch numbers were extremely low during the 2023 survey and the large numbers of pike are likely keeping the Yellow Perch population suppressed.
