Chagrin River Access (Daniels Park)
Daniels Park, managed by the City of Willoughby, offers public access to the Chagrin River and is a designated Ohio DNR Steelhead Trout Fishing Area. The remnants of an old dam restricts Steelhead migration during low water and concentrates the fish in this area. As a result, Daniels Park is one of the most heavily fishing areas on the Chagrin during Steelhead season. If you are looking for solitude this is NOT the place to go. For more information on fishing the Chagrin River and a Google map of all public access points visit our Chagrin River Fly Fishing Guide.
