Welcome to Central Portage County!

     I think you’ll be very surprised to find out the many things to see and do in our little party of the state. Portage County is conveniently located in Northeast Ohio, and proud of all it has to offer to its residents and visitors. Approximately 10 miles northeast of Akron and 30 miles southeast of Cleveland, the area is known for both its recreational and educational opportunities. Home to Kent State University, Northeast Ohio College of Medicine (NEOMED) and Hiram College, Portage County is a proud of its history, as well as the number of students who graduate, stick around and choose to call our area home, and strive to improve the future.

     Whether you’re here for business or pleasure, you’ll find something to do, somewhere to shop and eat, as well as stay. We’ve got it all! Within a one-hour drive you’ll find all the amenities of Northeast Ohio – from vibrant cities to small towns along the highways, and rural, picturesque drives along two lane roads.

     We’re blessed with Wingfoot State Park located in Suffield, as well as an extensive park system including hike-and-bike trails, natural resources (including Mogadore Reservoir and the middle and upper sections of the famous Cuyahoga River), and great golf courses, as well as many festivals and events held throughout the year. Check out what’s going on and what’s available at www.centralportage.org , or stop by our Information Center at 138 East Main Street, Suite 102 in downtown Kent to pick up a FREE map and check out what all there is to see and do in Portage County!

Sincerely,
