Rockwell South Canoe Launch

In an effort to promote recreation on the Cuyahoga River and in cooperation with the Portage Park District and the Cuyahoga River Water Trail Association, Akron's Watershed Division has installed a new canoe launch on Ravenna Rd, just below Lake Rockwell in Kent. As Lake Rockwell is the source water for the City of Akron, and therefore off limits to the public, this addition to the Cuyahoga River Water Trail will allow for easy portage around this environmentally sensitive area.  This canoe launch will facilitate portaging from the Portage County Park District Red Fox Canoe takeout in Shalersville, Ohio around Lake Rockwell Reservoir on the Cuyahoga River.
