PORTAGE LAKES, Ohio – Dust off your bathing suit and find your flip-flops because it’s almost time for a wintry swim!. The 2024 Portage Lakes Polar Bear Jump is set for its 20th year on Saturday, Feb. 24 as hundreds of brave participants plunge into the frigid water at Portage Lakes State Park — and it’s all for a good cause as the event raises money for the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.
