Lake Langdon in Mound, Minnesota, has an area of about 140 acres. Maps show its maximum depth of about 40 feet, though it would be classified as a shallow lake. It is named for R. V. Langdon, the first township clerk. It is located west of Commerce Boulevard and south of Lynwood Boulevard. Boats on the lake cannot navigate to the nearby Lake Minnetonka, though it overflows into Lost Lake, part of the Big Lake, through Langdon Bay Creek. It also serves as an outlet for Saunders Lake, to its west. The lake (or bay as it is sometimes called) has an over abundance of phosperous, that perhaps resulted from it being downstream from Mound's old sewer plant. The plant closed back in the late 1970s. Water clarity is poor. Fish in the Lake Langdon include bass, crappies, sunfish, carp, and many catfish.
