Lake Newport is the largest of three lakes in Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Mahoning County. There is both open water and wetlands as well as a dam.
Lake Newport is a manmade lake that is fed by Mill Creek via a dam. There are 60 acres of open water and 40 acres of wetlands. Boating and fishing are available on the Lake, and there is a boat launch.
The wetlands are at the southern end of the lake, and they provide habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals. Kayakers can explore the wetlands through trails inaccessible from land.
