The East Branch of the Chagrin River is a state scenic river. The name Chagrin comes from the local Native American word "Sha-ga-rin", or "clear water." The name is appropriate, given the East Branch River's clear flowing nature. It is largely untouched by human activity in many places, although it runs through Cleveland suburbs. (Haans Petruschke)
