Lakes in Mound include Black Lake, [[Dutch Lake]], [[Lake Langdon]], [[Saunders Lake]], and Seton Lake. [[Lake Minnetonka]] encompasses these and many others in the area. Mound has more than 1,000 docks on its various lakes. The lakes geographically define the town's areas, such as Three Points, The Island, The Highlands, Grandview Boulevard and Shirley Hills.

Lake Langdon is immediately west of Mound, between an old Great Northern railroad line and Lake Minnetonka. One of its most notable places is an old ice house and grocery store at the east side of the lake. For many years in the 1940s and '50s, the store was owned and operated by Ed and Pete Sollie, uncles of the [[Andrews Sisters]] singing group. Other historic places on Lake Langdon's east shore are Our Lady of the Lake parochial school and the Mound Baptist Church, long cared for by Ulrich Eugster, an immigrant to the U.S. from [[Reute, Switzerland]].
