Botzum was a hamlet in Northampton Township, Summit County, Ohio around what is now the intersection of Bath and Riverview Roads in Akron and Cuyahoga Falls.

[3] In the 1920s the city of Akron purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2) of land at Botzum to build a sewage treatment plant, which opened in 1928 and remains there to this day.

Along with the sewage plant it is known for a viewing station for great blue herons to the east where Bath Road crosses the Cuyahoga River.

There is also a sign on the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath with a photograph of Botzum from 1875.
