About the Business

Side Cut Metropark, located at 1025 West River Road in Maumee, Ohio, is a popular tourist attraction and park along the Maumee River. This Metropark is where the Metroparks system originated over 90 years ago and continues to be a signature destination in the Toledo area. Visitors can enjoy fishing in the rapids where walleye spawn in late March and April, attracting fishermen from across the country.
The park features the unique Maumee River Ledges, a rare alvar habitat found in only a few places around the Great Lakes. The name "Side Cut" comes from the former extension of the Miami and Erie Canal that connected the main line of the canal with the city of Maumee.

Side Cut Metropark offers a variety of activities and attractions, including river and canal access, a sledding hill, playground, indoor and picnic shelters, and wildlife feeding stations with indoor viewing areas. The park is also connected to the Fallen Timbers Monument and Battlefield, and the Wabash Cannonball Trail.

Reviews
"I have been here multiple times. The park and playground are always clean and well-maintained. The trail beside the river is nice to walk along. Although I have never utilized them, the rentable shelters look great and seem to have adequate space for serving food."
"Beautiful park along the Maumee River. The trails are well taken care of, nice playground and pavilion. Several grilling stations also. The new concrete pathway along the river is so nice for strollers, etc."
"Absolutely beautiful metro park!!! Paved trails for easy walking. Plenty of places to stop and take in the beautiful surroundings. Placks on most of the different types of trees. The locks are very awesome to see as well. There seems to be several different places to go visit here and I suggest you take a day and see it all!!"
"So many great things to say about this park. Big playground, nice bathrooms, drinking fountains, lots of picnic tables, and beautiful trails. They have short trails which are paved for strollers and water views. Easy trails for older and younger adventures. The locks and bridges are breathtaking. This is a must see."
