Mogadore Reservoir
Completed in 1939, Mogadore Reservoir is located near Mogadore by Ohio State Route 43 in Portage County and is formed from the damming of the Little Cuyahoga River.
Mogadore Reservoir was originally created to supply additional water to Akron industries downstream but now serves mostly recreational and flood protection purposes.
Recreation
The City of Akron and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources have a long term agreement for hunting and fishing at Mogadore reservoir.
A map of the recreational hunting areas managed by the ODNR can be found here. A fishing map of Mogadore can be found here.
