Side Cut Metropark, Regional park in Maumee, United States.
Description
Side Cut Metropark spreads across 323 acres alongside the Maumee River, with walking paths, picnic grounds, and remnants of canal infrastructure from the 1800s. The park includes diverse natural areas and supports local wildlife habitats.
History
The park takes its name from a side branch of the Miami and Erie Canal, which was finished in 1842. This waterway played a key role in early regional commerce and settlement.
Culture
During the annual walleye spawning season in March and April, the park becomes a gathering place for fishing enthusiasts from across the nation.
Practical
The park operates from 7 am until dusk and includes restrooms, playgrounds, and sledding slopes. Visitors should dress for the season and stick to marked trails when exploring.
Did you know?
The Maumee River Ledges form an alvar habitat within the park, a rare rock formation found only in scattered locations around the Great Lakes. These exposed stone areas support plant communities that thrive nowhere else nearby.
