This Indian Statue is in a park along Rt. 93 in Portage Lakes, Ohio.

It tells the story of how the Indians had to portage their canoes

along the canals and the lakes in Portage Lakes and ultimately

how the Portage Lakes was named by the Indians who lived here.

It is interesting to read the plaque that accompanies the statue

and learn more about our historic area along the Ohio Canals

in Ohio. If you have time someday stop to visit the Indian!
