Together with the steep slopes of the Cuyahoga Valley, waterways are the Valley's defining features. The Cuyahoga River and its many tributaries give structure not just to the natural systems and ecology of the Valley, but also provide the underlying logic which shaped development patterns, including where we live, work, recreate and travel to and through the Valley. The health of the entire system of waterways determines whether the Valley is a place of prosperity and genuine community. The waterways are the foundation for the Valley's renewal. |

+ Chippewa Creek
Chippewa Creek is named after the Native American people that
occupied the land west of the Cuyahoga River at the time of the first white settlers.
Residential and commercial development pressures currently threaten the creek and its
headwaters. It flows past a number of community activity centers and has the potential to
link them together and to the Metroparks'
Brecksville Reservation,
which is located at its mouth.
