The Langston's Lake Trail follows the entire perimeter of Langston's Lake.  There are three entrances to the trail, and it also links up with the George Eldridge Trail.  My favorite entrance is the one right near my house, the East Willow Street entrance.  By starting here, you'll be able to see most of the landmarks shown on this site. To start your journey, go to the end of E Willow and follow the driveway  down to a path which leads to an old rusty gate. The gates leads down to the old boathouse steps.  Go down the steps and onto the trail.  Make your way north, to the Teahouse.  The bridge that goes across the stream is the area where a large decorated bridge once stood. A refurbished rail from the original bridge is placed nearby. .

After you cross the bridge,  you can walk to the left and visit the teahouse and the old barn wall.  After that you can continue back the way you came and follow the rest of the trail.

As you continue down the trail, you'll notice it gets very wide, this was done so that trucks could get in to furthur improve on the trail, such as bringing in mulch to line it.  You'll soon come to a fork in the trail.  I like to take the right path because you can walk along the lake.

Split to George Eldridge Trail.

From here you can walk the trail to the dock on the lake. Before the dock you'll  notice another split in the trail, which is pictured above.  This split will take you to the George Eldridge Trail.  Continuing on, the house you see at the top of the hill is the home of the Cornell's, who have generously provided funding time and again to help maintain the Langston's Lake area.  When you get to the top of the hill, instead of exiting out the gate you can keep going straight.  The trail will eventually bring you back to the old boathouse steps.
