LaDue Reservoir is a reservoir located near Ohio State Route 44 and U.S. Route 422 in Auburn and Troy Townships in Geauga County, Ohio. Originally called the “Akron City Reservoir”, it was dedicated as the LaDue Reservoir on October 11, 1961, in honor of Wendell R. LaDue. The Geographic Names Information System recognized four variants names, including Akron City Reservoir, Bridge Creek Reservoir, Ladue Reservoir, and Wendell R. Ladue Reservoir.
The reservoir is formed by the Bridge Creek Dam 41°24′16″N 81°11′2″W / 41.40444°N 81.18389°W across Bridge Creek and the Black Brook Dike 41°21′4″N 81°12′36″W / 41.35111°N 81.21000°W across Black Brook, both tributaries of the Cuyahoga River.
The reservoir was created in an area that was covered with ice during the Wisconsinan glaciation and contains numerous glacial sand and gravel deposits (kames) and glacial ponds (kettles). The lake bottom retains the same irregularities found before it was dammed.
