Taylor Brook

 Drainage:  Cuyahoga River, East Branch
 Flow:  Low, approx.. 10 gallons/min
 Summer Temperature: 14 degrees C
 Watershed Area: 277 acres
 Stability: Excellent, no signs of high flows
 Substrate:  Sharon sandstone
 Habitat:  Good
 Overall rating (1-10):  9
 Comments:  Excellent potential stream. Is entirely spring fed, and having the colder water than any current Ohio trout stream. The bed of the stream is entirely Sharon sandstone, though downstream from Taylor-Wells road it opens up into a boggy area. Since it is entirely on posted private property it was impossible to investigate the habitat of the stream, which might be less than desired due to the small flow. If trout were stocked in this stream they would certainly be able to reproduce successfully due to the stable flow and numerous gravel beds.
