According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 8.2 square miles (21 km2), of which 6.6 square miles (17 km2) is land and 1.6 square miles (4.1 km2) (19.49%) is water.
At the 2000 census, Portage Lakes included portions of Coventry and Franklin townships.[5] On 1 January 2005, all of Franklin Township was merged into the village of New Franklin; as a result, the CDP's Franklin Township portion is now entirely within New Franklin.[6] Therefore, the CDP today consists of territory only in Coventry Township, as CDPs are located only in unincorporated areas.[7]
