Langdon Lake is a beautiful lake located in the Umatilla National Forest in Northeastern Oregon, United States. It's not a natural lake, but a special kind of lake called a reservoir. This lake was created by blocking a stream called Morning Creek. It is also the starting point for Lookingglass Creek, which later flows into the Grande Ronde River.
About Langdon Lake

The water from Langdon Lake then flows out to form Lookingglass Creek. This creek is a tributary of the Grande Ronde River. A tributary is a smaller stream or river that flows into a larger one.
