The Chagrin River[1][2] is located in northeast Ohio. The river has two branches, the Aurora Branch and East Branch. Its name stems from what the local Erie Indians used to call it, the "Sha-ga-rin", or "Clear Water".[3] Given the clear flowing nature of especially the East Branch of the river, this name is appropriate. Another hypothesis attributes the name of the river to a corruption and anglicization of the name of a French trader, Sieur de Saguin.[4][5] The Chagrin River runs through suburban areas of Greater Cleveland in Cuyahoga, Geauga, and Portage counties, transects two Cleveland Metroparks reservations, and then meanders into nearby Lake County before emptying into Lake Erie.
