Goodyear Boating Club

**Location & Access**
The Goodyear Boating Club ramp provides access to Portage Lakes and the Tuscarawas River in Akron, Summit County. This is a **private club facility**, so access may be restricted to members. Paddlers and boaters should verify membership requirements or guest privileges before planning a trip to this location.

**Water Conditions**
This access point serves Portage Lakes, a series of connected impoundments on the Tuscarawas River. The area is suitable for kayaking, canoeing, and recreational boating. The lakes offer calmer water conditions compared to the river sections downstream, making them ideal for paddlers of various skill levels. The Tuscarawas River itself is a moderate, meandering waterway popular for scenic paddling.

**Before You Visit**
Because this is a private club facility rather than a public ramp, contact the Goodyear Boating & Yachting Association directly to confirm access policies, any fees, and current conditions. The nearby Akron Yacht Club Ramp and Burches Landing Ramp offer public alternatives on Portage Lakes if you need public access options.
