The Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation stretches through the villages of Cuyahoga Heights and Valley View. The reservation follows a portion of its namesake, the historic Ohio and Erie Canal. Together with the Cuyahoga River, the northern most remaining 5.5 miles of watered canal provides good fishing opportunities.

A one-mile stretch of the north portion of the canal is managed for sport fishing. Fishery management activities will include periodic fish stocking and fish habitat enhancement. Popular fish species which can be caught include: bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish.

Ohio & Erie Canal serves as the east side site for the annual Children's Spring Fishing Derby which is held on mid-May each year. For additional event information, call (440) 234-9597.
