    West Lake is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. Hiking is a popular thing to do around West Lake; Iroquois Trail is a delightful local trail, and Mar-lynn Lake Park is a nice local campground. Summer brings highs in the 80's to West Lake. When the night sets in temperatures dip down into the 60's. High temperatures during the wintertime are normally in the 30's; winter nights come with lows in the 10's to West Lake. That right there  
   is heaps already, but it carries on; West Lake has it all. Good hiking is available along the Mushers Trail.
Visiting Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area is just something you need to do if you haven't yet, and there's pleasant hiking along the Mohawk Trail. From a precipitation point of view West Lake is a rather typical place; the month of June is the wettest with most of the rain; January is the month with the least moisture. And that's not all you can
 
               do here at West Lake. Some close by water includes Breakneck Creek, and probably you're looking for close by lakes? Sure, East Lake is just a very short distance away.
Raccoon Hill Golf Club is a tremendous golf course close by, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Cuyahoga River. West Lake is a great place to visit for more than one day, Woodside Lake Park is a great place to camp nearby, naturally you could also pop by Twin Lakes if you're here; it's not far at all. This lake is so wonderful. While you're here at West Lake you will meet lots of folks from close by Akron, and if you need a place to stay Comfort Inn And Suites is a great choice.
This lake is so wonderful. Boston Mills has magnificent slopes and a friendly staff; Lake Rockwell Dam is a place that is near West Lake. Really brilliant skiing awaits you at Brandywine, and after a long day outdoors Microtel Inn And Suites Cleveland Streetsboro is a tremendous spot to spend a night or two.

Hidden Valley Camp Ground
Hidden Valley is a great place to have tons of fun. I am a seasonal camper there and we are all so friendly. So come out and have some fun....Great campground. Lots of activities. We were treated like family by the guests as well as the owners and staff. Perfect if you have kids. Book early, though, because it tends to fill up quickly....

Virginia Kendall Park Lake
12 miles away
The dam was washed out in 2007, and is under repair. In the meantime it is very neat to be able to see the bottom of the lake. When I was a kid there used to be wooden toggonan runs that shot the tobbogans out onto the frozen lake at the end. The nearby Virginia Hills are still a great place for sledding, one of the best in the area.
Tamsin Park has been replaced by a housing subdivision. However, not far from Virginia Kendall in Boston is a American Youth Hostel, and there are several bed and breakfasts in the area as well. I don't know of any place to camp in the area (unless you are a boy or girl scout, they have camps nearby.)
If you enjoy biking, the nearby towpath trail winds along the old canal from Cleveland to Akron, and is a beautiful ride....

Boston Mills

La Due Reservoir
15 miles away
This is a relatively large lake (1500 acres) located in NE Ohio, at the intersection of state Rt 422 and Rt 44. The lake is managed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife. There are no camps or parks on the shore of the lake. The lake is part of the city of Akron water supply system. Access to the lake is limited to boating/fishing, and gasoline motors are not allowed. If you want to fish this lake, bring two trolling batteries as the lake is large. Fish to be caught include largemouth bass, crappie (white and black), channel catfish, yellow perch, bluegill, walleye and the occasional northern pike (rare, but according to the boathouse attendant, there are a few in the lake)....

Lake O'Springs
18 miles away
This lake is a natural lake made up of many springs.  From the many arrow heads found around the lake there is no doubt that it was home to indiginous tribes at one time or another.  In the early part of the 20th century it was a summer retreat for some people.  In the late 60's early 70's it was a great venue for local bands to play and a summer park with swimming etc. as well....
