I have photographed weddings and engagement sessions at Sidecut and it is easily one of my favorite places! It's amazing in the spring and summer but it also really comes to life in the fall for photos as well! It's great for sunrise and also sunset and even a little after. There are beautiful spots for ceremonies and just as beautiful of spots for portraits. I highly recommend Side Cut Metropark for a part of your wedding!

Was here for a friend's grad party, and the location was easy to find, beautiful scenery, and nice facilities to host events. The building we were in had a nice wildlife viewing area with a binder to identify the various birds at the feeders, a kitchen, and bathrooms attached to the building.

Really well maintained walkways and trails and plenty of signage. The wildlife window on the canal locks trail is a unique and thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be back!

So many memories renewed at this beautiful park. Love the variety of steps that lead to unknown paths and you see rare animals in their natural habitat. The canal history is saved for future generations.

My dog and I have explored the beaten and unbeaten paths throughout the Side Cut MetroPark and have enjoyed it in every season. It is always a pleasure to see the various wildlife and enjoy the water and forest views. Today I headed up a booth at the Sidecut Park Outdoor Expo and I have to say that I was impressed by how well the event was organized and maintained.
