Silver Lake is a village in Summit County, Ohio, United States. The population was 2,516 at the 2020 census. It is a suburb of Akron and is part of the Akron metropolitan area. Silver Lake is between and surrounded by the cities of Stow and Cuyahoga Falls.
Beginning in 1874, the lake and the land surrounding it was a popular amusement park in the Akron area. The lake was acquired in 1874 by Ralph H. Lodge, and he subsequently also purchased the land surrounding the body of water. It was originally a picnicking and swimming area, but before it closed, the 600-acre Silver Lake Amusement Park featured animal exhibits, a roller coaster, sport facilities, a dance hall, and a hotel, becoming one of the "biggest attractions in Ohio." [6] In its prime, the Silver Lake Amusement Park received over 10,000 visitors per day. It was sold in 1917 and subdivided for residential development, leading to the incorporation of the village in 1918. [7]
