I have had a couple people ask me questions about the location of the November trip, so here is the link to the website. The park is called Headwaters Park and is part of the Geauga Park District. The reservoir itself is called East Branch Reservoir and is both the headwaters of the east branch of the Cuyahoga River and part of Akron's drinking water supply.

The park connects to a bike path, and has hiking trails and some camping available in addition to the reservoir and paddling.
