About Langston

Langston is a quiet lakeside town of fewer than 300 people, located on the eastern banks of Lake Guntersville in Jackson County. Set right against the base of Sand Mountain, the community offers plenty of open space and a relaxed, rural atmosphere. It is the kind of place where life moves slowly and waterfront living comes without the heavy tourist traffic found in larger lake towns.

Most people move here for the outdoor lifestyle. Lake Guntersville is famous for its bass fishing and boating, and residents also have scenic hiking and camping close by at Buck's Pocket and Lake Guntersville state parks. Langston gives you the feel of a secluded mountain and lake retreat, while still keeping you within a 20-minute drive of Scottsboro for groceries, restaurants, and schools.
