Together with the steep slopes of the Cuyahoga Valley, waterways are the Valley's defining features. The Cuyahoga River and its many tributaries give structure not just to the natural systems and ecology of the Valley, but also provide the underlying logic which shaped development patterns, including where we live, work, recreate and travel to and through the Valley. The health of the entire system of waterways determines whether the Valley is a place of prosperity and genuine community. The waterways are the foundation for the Valley's renewal. |

+ Mill Creek
In 1799, Wheeler W. Williams and Ezra Wyatt built what is reputed to
be the first sawmill in the Western Reserve on the creek near the tallest waterfall in
Cuyahoga County. Typical of many valleys in the area, the Mill Creek has been used as
convenient place to dispose of waste in landfills. Plans are being developed to create
linkages along the Mill Creek valley and the landfills to connect the
Towpath Trail with the
Mill Creek Falls.
