Chippewa Creek is a diverse stream system located in northeastern Ohio that flows eastward through Broadview Heights, Brecksville, and other communities before eventually emptying into the Cuyahoga River within Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The creek meanders approximately eight miles through suburban neighborhoods before winding through a glacially carved gorge in the northern section of Cleveland Metroparks Brecksville Reservation. This stream features varied habitats ranging from shallow riffles to deeper pools, with natural rocky substrates consisting primarily of cobble, bedrock, sand, and gravel. The watershed drains nearly 18 square miles and represents one of the more healthy subwatersheds in the Lower Cuyahoga River system. Historically used for recreational swimming and mills, Chippewa Creek now primarily serves as a natural corridor and fishing destination.
