Rocky River, OH

Rocky River is a Cleveland suburb in western Cuyahoga County, set along Lake Erie about nine miles west of downtown. The city is named for the Rocky River, and much of its eastern border follows the river through the Rocky River Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. That combination of lakefront and river-valley access gives the community a strong outdoor setting within a close-in suburb. Rocky River is residential, established, and well connected, with downtown Cleveland nearby and parks woven into the local geography.
