Quite possibly one of Ohio's most underrated parks, South Chagrin Reservation should be visited immediately by anyone who has yet to do so. The park has cliffs, waterfalls, and miles and miles of trails. In addition to all of this, the park also has an interesting rock carving called Squaw Rock. Below I have listed some of the many hikes in South Chagrin, I personally recommend the Squaw rock trail. Also, make sure to check out the waterfall on the Chagrin River at the entrance to the park.
