Knapp Recreation Area

Secluded and serene park with quiet trails. There is a nice lazy stream that is a nice option for dogs to play in without having to worry about abandoned fish hooks. There are several great photo opportunities as well as old fallen trees should you feel like reenacting one of Baby’s dance practice scenes from Dirty Dancing.

Usually quiet, great for a quick stroll in the woods and and to feel away from it all for a bit when you don't have time to get away from it all

Great hiking trails!

Really beautiful and natural park. Beware of the shattered glass at the beginning and end of the trail near the parking lot, dogs or children could injure themselves if unsupervised. But once you get out onto the trail there is less danger of glass, just keep an eye out.

This is just a small neighborhood park maintained by the ODNR with a few trails through a nice wooded area. A trail goes down to the East side of East Reservoir Lake where the Akron Yacht Club has their dock area in Portage Lakes. There is a bench there to relax and enjoy the view of the Lake and whatever waterfowl or wildlife might venture in. There is a very nice paved parking lot and a pavilion with picnic tables near the parking area also.

This is a small nature area. Parking space for about ten cars. There are a couple of picnic tables in a shelter. There is a porta potty on site. There are rustic hiking trails through the woods. I primarily use it to portage my kayak through the woods to the edge of the lake near Sandy beach marina. It's a great ? only launching point to Miller lake and the East reservoir of the Portage Lakes. It takes a little hike from the parking lot to the water so be sure you have something to help you to portage your kayak.

This trail is perfect for little kids. Has a creek just off the path that we take our kids to play. It's also very shaded which makes it perfect for kids on a summer day.

Small parking lot very quiet nice hiking trails. Good for dogs and kids or if you just want to fish and enjoy the day.

Great woods with fantastic energy! I suggest getting off the trail a bit and finding the creek!

Great place for a walk, shorter trails.
