Winter months brings a white blanket of snow, that white stuff can can come in late October and sometimes stays around til late April. Wintertime temperatures can be harsh with deep freeze cold snaps but tend not to last more than a few weeks at a time and in many parts of Ontario the sun shines occasionally that is certainly a great lift for the spirit

Maple Syrup Production

Haliburton Highlands

Got a sweet tooth, every year for a 1000 years collecting of maple syrup takes place.


Trees store starch in their trunks and roots, this starch is then converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring. (March and April)

Maple trees can be tapped by boring holes into their trunks and collecting the exuded sap.

The sap is processed by heating to evaporate the water, leaving you with a great topping for pancakes, maple syrup.








Every weekend in March and April from 9 am to 4 pm

Come and enjoy a walk in the bush, see the productions of maple syrup on a wood -fired evaporator and taste our maple menu with fresh maple syrup.

Enjoy samples of BBQ, fruit syrups, jams, jellies, and preserves and of course maple products in our retail area.

Sugar on Snow
Saturday and Sunday at 2 pm in the bush.
Call 705 286-3202 for more information…
