Lock 4 Park, located about 20 miles south of Akron, features the historic "Fulton Lock," the fourth lock south of the Akron summit on the Ohio & Erie Canal.

Though no longer operational, the lock and surrounding park has long been a favored local picnic and fishing spot. The park also provides access to the Ohio & Erie Towpath Trail and includes amenities like a historic mill, picnic areas, a handicap-accessible fishing dock, and parking.
