The Longview Lake Trail is a 6.5-mile trail that connects all of the shelters along the west side of Longview Lake. It is a relatively flat 10- to 12-foot wide trail constructed of crushed limestone aggregate. At the south end of the trail near Shelter 9 there is an opportunity for a shorter walk, via a one-mile loop back to the parking area. The Longview Trail connects to the city of Grandview, Missouri Trail System.
