About Wingfoot Lake
Wingfoot Lake is located in southwestern Portage County, 3 miles east of Akron and 8 miles south of Kent, west of OH-43, one-half mile south of US-224.

Wingfoot Lake is owned largely by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife. Wingfoot Lake was created by Wingfoot Lake Dam on the Wingfoot Lake Outlet in Portage County. Construction of the Wingfoot Lake Dam was completed in 1916.

Wingfoot Lake was formerly the property of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Wingfoot Lake’s rich heritage dates back to the early twentieth century when it was created to supply water for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company’s burgeoning manufacturing facility nearby in Akron. Wingfoot Lake is now considered as a recreational resource. The former Wingfoot Lake Park is now owned by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Parks, as well as the Division of Wildlife. The lake has a water surface of 444 acres. The maximum depth of Wingfoot Lake is 15 feet. Boats are allowed on Wingfoot Lake, but they must be propelled by outboard motors of 10 horsepower or less. The fish populations in Wingfoot Lake are managed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife. From Wingfoot Lake webpage
