The Gorge Dam is situated on the Cuyahoga River in Gorge Metro Park, which offers 1,700 acres of contiguous green space in Summit County. The dam is in Cuyahoga Falls, OH and near Akron, OH.
The Gorge Dam was constructed in 1913 by Northern Traction & Light – which later became Ohio Edison. It operated as a hydroelectric power plant until 1958. The reservoir behind the dam provided cooling water for a coal power plant until 1992. The power plant has been dismantled, but the dam remains.
