Chagrin Water Falls

Super cute town and gorgeous water views — recommend for snacks and wonderful pictures!

cute town with a waterfall. we were driving around Ohio seeing cool stuff. We only spent 30 minutes hanging around the water fall and taking some pics They happened to be having a carnival in town. But the town looks to be clean and adorable.

Took my brother to see the falls, and to the popcorn shop and lunch. Great way to spend an afternoon.

This is a wonderful view to behold, regardless of the season. We had our family photos taken here last winter; the holiday lights, rushing falls, holiday music from nearby shops. It was wonderful! Not that any of that got my sons in the mood to smile for the photos ;-) but that is another topic! If you have the chance to visit the falls, you definitely should. Stop by the popcorn shop, too! Fun fact: did you know that Chagrin Falls is the home of comic stars Calvin and Hobbes? :)

I don’t know what it is about this place, but I’ve fallen in love with it. Anytime a friend or family member visits, I take them here (when it’s decent weather). It’s been said before, but no — this is not a massive waterfall, but it IS pretty. The recent times I’ve gone, there hasn’t been much water since it didn’t rain enough this year. But it’s still worth a visit. I enjoy coming here and just sitting and relaxing by the falls before walking around main street and popping into some of the adorable shops… and of course, Jeni’s ice cream is a must!

I love downtown Chagrin Falls just for the fact that it has the falls. It’s so peaceful and there are so many places to venture in the area. It’s a bit difficult to get to, from the highway, but it’s always worth it.

I loved the sights in which this small town near Cleveland. The popcorn and ice cream was delicious. The walking in the park was well worth it. Will return again upon my next visit.

We had a great day visiting the falls and enjoying the shops. From the popcorn shop to the unique clothing shops a true Midwest small town gem.

This is a pretty cool little pit stop if you find yourself in the area. It’s not the most impressive waterfall in the world, but its a nice way to spend the afternoon. Stop into Chagrin Falls for lunch at one of the many local restaurants, wander around the the boutiques and little stores, check out the falls, then get some ice cream. Not a bad day!
Don’t come in the winter though, unless you want to freeze than by all means!

Charming, bustling little town with great ice cream shops, a nice selection of restaurants, and a powerful waterfall that’s like the icing on the cake.

Looking for the perfect day-​trip get away? Then you must visit Chagrin Water Falls! There are two water falls located on either side of the bridge on Main Street. Now, this ain’t no Niagara Falls, but it’s located in such a peaceful and serene environment that it’s worth the trip :) There are a few benches conveniently located in the view point areas, and they are the perfect spots for hanging out, pondering about life, and reading a great book! While you’re here, make sure you walk around Main Street. There are many boutiques, restaurants, cafes, etc. Not to mention the world-​famous Jeni’s ice cream!

I spent a few years growing up here when I was a kid. I got to experience a lot of things here, it was a great place to grow up. I loved getting to go down and feed the ducks. our family spent the weekends picnicking at the park, ice cream by the falls, I even got my first pet (I won a Goldfish at the river side carnival) here, and experienced falling in love for the first time.
It was hard moving away I was really upset we had to leave. The girl Dana had a bucket of G. I Joes she gave me before I left so I wouldn’t forget her. I still have one I saved all these years that I can’t bring myself to get rid of :)

I grew up in the small, quiet town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
I can remember many summer days hanging out by the river with beloved friends; laughing, sharing, enjoying our youth. We would throw bread crumbs to the ducks and bask in the sun as we ate ice cream from the Popcorn Shop. Sometimes we would bring our leftovers from Yours Truly or Parkside and have a picnic in the park. And in the winter days, a quiet stroll among the quietly falling snow is equally as therapeutic.
Those were the best days, and there is something very magical about the Falls. They take you to a place in your heart that reminds you just how beautiful life really is. That is a feeling you never want to lose touch with.

***The nice sight of Chagrin Water Falls completes this small, idyllic town located outside of Cleveland***
Free street parking is available.

My favorite place to explore Cleveland nature. It’s so serene and beautiful. Great place to just take off and go when you want to get away from it all.

In this whole wide world… this is my favorite place to go when I need a few minutes to myself — a few moments to just walk and ponder. Regardless the season, the Chagrin Water Falls never lack in splendor. If you are seeking a fun afternoon, do come to check out the beautiful little shops and restaurants, enjoy the overall New England-​esque architectural ambiance, and make sure to walk along the water, sit, and listen to the falls for a moment or three.
Grade: A, as this is an American gem.

Grew up here. When we were kids we used to jump off the Natural Falls and swim in the river. Can’t beat it as a home town. There is also a «secret» passage under the Popcorn shop where we used to hang out. Probably still exists.
A most see on the east side. But i am pretty sure you get arrested for jumping off the falls now.

I take a picture in front of the falls every time I’m in Ohio.
You can literally watch me grow up in front of these falls.
The falls change their mood with the season just as the leaves on the trees do.
I love all the different vantage points offered to see the falls.
And, of course, the surrounding town of Chagrin Falls is a cute little town to visit.

I’ve seen some other pretty great waterfalls, (Niagara, Snoqualmie, Minnehaha), but this was impressive too. The spring runoff is beginning and there is a tremendous rush of water right now.
I like the different viewing decks to check it out from. You can get some nice views from the bridge and other interesting views from the park that runs alongside it before the falls.
What a pretty place to visit. Well worth the stop if you’re in the Cleveland area.

Okay, I am a little biased. This is where my husband proposed, so of course I love it here! I have been here in the spring and winter. It’s beautiful regardless of the season. There are plenty of cute shops and restaurants in the area to check out after walking around the falls.
