Side Cut is one of nine natural area of the Toledo Metroparks totaling more than 6,700 acres. The Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo Area, a separate political subdivision of the State of Ohio, was founded in 1928 and is governed by a three-person Board of Park Commissioners who serve without pay. Funding for the operation and improvement of the Metroparks is derived chiefly from voter support of a small property tax levy. At the heart of Side Cut Metropark are the remnants of the old Maumee Side Cut Canal consisting of six limestone locks. In 1843, these connected the main line of the Miami and Erie Canal with the City of Maumee's wharves once located near today's Edison Club. Three complete locks still stand in the Metropark and there size is awesome.
