Chagrin Falls, Cuyahoga County, Ohio, US
Was beautiful weather was perfect. Its been few years since I last visited. And I had never visited the shops until today. It was a great trip and we also went across the street to little falls on other side they have river with ducks and geese and even a playground which my daughter enjoyed along with her ice cream. Its definitely something worth experiencing.
The falls are beautiful! Getting to them in the summer, not so much. This quaint town is bustling in the summer, so parking is at a premium and traffic is busy. We managed to find a spot and took the stairs to the viewing platform. Still, worth a quick visit if you can find a parking spot!
Beautiful town featuring a large natural waterfall and a mill dam. You can walk stone steps to the base of the waterfall for excellent photos, or take pictures from the viewing area above. You will see unique rocks, plants, fishermen and who knows what else around the falls.Very well maintained historic buildings and homes nearby. A large sycamore tree stands near the falls within a park. Benches for sitting.
Serene, gorgeous downtown area. There is access to see the man made falls & parking on the bridge. If you want to see the natural larger falls you must go across the street & and down a paved walkway to stairs. They were slick at the bottom. There is a path that is steep down to rocky shoreline to get pictures from below. There are benches at top of walkway & in little park by man made falls.
This is a big, powerful, Waterfall, nestled in a small town area, filled with shops, and restaurants, some of them have the waterfalls as the scenery of their outdoor dining experience! There are stairs that lead down to the waterfalls edge, with benches along the way. I had my lunch there today. This will take you back in time, its very nostalgic.
Here is a fine example of a block falls and you barely have to get out of your car. you can get down to the bottom from some shops on the rights side or try to find some parking on the left side of the falls. but be careful where you park. i when in January and there was some ice so they closed down the stair cases. im not sure if they closed it down for the winter but you can see it from the bridge or the left side pretty good. the for pictures would be at the bottom. either way it easy to find a worth seeing. when you done viewing the falls you can go across the street and visit a pretty cool popcorn shop.
Very picturesque. The river that feeds the waterfall runs right under the main street of the town. There is a bridge right over the falls where you can stand and enjoy the view. There is also a multi-level deck and viewing platform built into the bluff just downstream of the falls.
We came to Chagrin Falls to get Jenis and had to stop by and see the falls.Theres street parking, but we opted to park in the big parking lot by Heinens (and even that was packed).The falls is cool to see. My husband commented on how muddy it is. Its usually crowded by the falls, but people must have been focused on the street market going on because it was empty when we were there.Take some time to walk along the river on the other side of the street. Its really pretty and I like it even better than the falls.Its a neat thing to stop and see when youre in Chagrin Falls.
Just a Beautiful ExperienceI took my 3cyear old granddaughter there.We packed up a lunch and got in the car and had our lunch on one of the picnic tables by the falls, then sat on the steps to k watch the ducks And Topped it off with...Ice cream @ the popcorn shop !It was great And everyone was so friendly.Does not get any better than that. 😊
Ive seen this place mentioned in Ohio newsletters, but never had the opportunity to visit. Finally did and worth the stop. The falls are right in downtown with easy to access views. It is in a quaint little shopping district with boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, and a nice park. The locals are very fortunate to have a gem like this in their backyard.
Beautiful. And the town surrounding the falls is amazing. Part Andy Griffith, part any upscale city. You wont be disappointed. Just make sure you see the falls over the Popcorn Shoppe (worth a visit for sure). The Falls never gets old. Great restaurants (Yours Truly, M Italian and more)! Fun shopping. Shout out to @mymindfulmarket. Very cool store and dog friendly!
Urban park and waterfall. Cute town. Was there on a Friday about 11 am, and parking was problematic. Not sure if worse on weekends. No swimming in the water, but you wouldnt want to. Water is really dirty! Brown foam collects at bottom of falls in the slower moving parts of the river.
This was our fist stop for our water falls trip and boy it set the bar fairly high for the ones to follow. The upper falls was cool. But take a walk across the street and down the boardwalk to the falls and we were blown away. Im glad we walked across the street lol. And a beautiful town to visit as well. We will come back
I love taking my family to the falls...its something we do every year....multiple times. The falls are awesome, theres a playground for the kids, and The Popcorn shop and Jennis ice cream is worth the trip in itself. If you are thinking about it....dont hesitate...just go!
Very pretty area that is fun to explore. If Im in the area I always make time to stop at the falls and stroll down the river bank. Its great for pictures and its just a fun spot to hang out at with friends or solo. Plus the town itself is very charming with good food options to stop at before or after a food water stroll.
My mom grew up there I had planned this trip for a few months she enjoyed it I enjoyed it my man and his GREAT granddaughter enjoyed it she loves my mom at only 3 my mom is 88 this lil girl may as well be her great great granddaughter much love for the memory🥰🥰🥰 🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩💯💯💓
Beautiful waterfall with a great view from up top and also stairs to access the bottom of it as well as the stream. Located in downtown Chagrin Falls which is a beautiful area and a cute little shopping spots with nice shops to visit. Fun to walk around and enjoy being outside.
A really peaceful place with an awesome scenery. Much to see & do. I have caught a carnival here in the start of the week. However I am not sure when it schedules its time in town. Take pictures! Take pictures! Shop! Enjoy homemade icecream.Say hello! The people are friendly.
My kids love this place. In the summer l, we walk down and watch the water, then head up for some ice cream. In the winter, the same only we mail our letters to Santa across the street. Then we head up the street to see Santa and watch the toy trains, then we head to Starbucks to get hot chocolate. Cute and quaint neighborhood!
Ive always loved nature and I seen baby geese. Tried to help the one because it was injured but before I could return it was to far floating in the water but something is wrong with the one baby. But the view and area are beautiful lots of attractions enjoyed the popcorn shop as well.
Visited this waterfall several times and am always struck by its beauty! I tried my best to capture it in a picture but cant even begin to do it justice. I highly recommend that anyone visit this place. There is a parking lot that is right next to the waterfall and there are maybe only 50 stairs to descend to the bottom. Also check out the local stores and restaurants. Lots of great things to do nearby as well!
We used to live in Chagrin. My oldest brother and I have been wishing that we were able to grow up in this town. It was a small but interesting place. We used to help clean the Federated Church with our stepfather. The main sanctuary was amazing, to me. It was the first time that Id ever seen a pipe organ. I have no idea how the little place, that we will always call home, has developed. But, it must really be special for us to relocate to TN in 1980, here we are in 2019 and....we want to come home.
A complete disappointment, not at all what the small town used to be. Maybe because its too close to Cleveland then got Middlefielded. The buildings are still made of brick and wood but they are filled with plastic. I used to go to Ricks Cafe and get the best ribs in the world all you can eat one day a week, now its used to be Ricks with a flower on the sign out front which matches a lot of the free roaming queer people that I saw wandering up and down the streets. No one on the street was there for business but just plastic people doing plastic things in plastic storefronts. And they were mostly all content thinking this was exactly what a small Ohio town really is which is the farthest thing from the truth. I used to buy some very fine swiss cheese there at the wine store but its all gone and the only one I saw was about $8 a sip at the grocery store, which was under constant surveillance from the ground and the air, that chilled my spirits to the point of making a circle right back out the same door we came in. We thought the old hardware store would save face a little bit but it was another grand disappointment that had none of the things that we needed, the old gal at the register would not look up to acknowledge our presents or give friendly smile, or even an unfriendly one for that matter. It was an awful day. A complete waste. I only wish that I would have never gone back and remembered it for what it used to be.
Its such a picturesque spot. You can go there and just hang out above, on either side, or below the falls. Every viewing point is magical. And of course the quaint little town caters to that. Dont miss getting ice cream from the store just above the falls. And ... if youre a cyclist. . Chagrin River Road just a couple miles away is a beyond compare beautiful ride.
This fall is easy to get to since it is right in town. But the fall is not the only thing to see here. Chagrin Falls is a cute little kitschy town. Check out Daves Subs and the popcorn shop downtown. If you have a little time, stop and eat lunch somewhere in Chagrin Falls and walk around a bit.
I have just returned to the Cleveland area and how are North East North Ohio northeast Ohio and I was looking at places Id like to see again. This was one that I really enjoyed 30 40 years ago and now that I am back will hopefully be able to take a visit to the area.

2022-01-20Beautiful waterfalls that flow right through Main Street with a lovely path to view them.Waterfalls are wonderful and when they’re this convenient, you just have to admire them. The lovely downtown area is built up around the falls. As you walk down Main Street, there is a staircase to view the falls right by the popcorn shop.With it being winter, the Chagrin River was mostly frozen including a good amount of the falls. You can’t completely stop this force of nature as water flowed through in multiple areas creating a beautiful scene. Take a few minutes to admire before you enjoy the great shops nearby.

2022-06-13Quaint little falls. The river winds through the city and you can walk down it if you have the agility and a good pair of waterproof boots. Lots of old rocks and fossils and bits of history lining the Chagrin River. Really peaceful to sit beside.

2021-08-08This place was beautiful! Nice little hidden jem! Cute little town. The waterfall has stairs to get down to it. Not very long stairs. But no wheelchair/stroller access to the falls. Although there is a restaurant on the other side you could get an amazing look at as well!!
