Taking a sugar bush tour is one of the most quintessential Canadian experiences, and is an annual tradition for many Canadian families. The spring harvest of maple syrup symbolizes the end of a long winter, and the beginning of another beautiful spring. It is the celebration of Canada’s most beloved natural product, one that is synonymous with the Canadian lifestyle.
Visiting the sugar bush in the spring has long been a tradition, and has been passed down through the generations of many Canadian families. There is no greater signal that spring is here than going for a walk through the sugar bush on a bright day with the sweet aroma of boiling sap in the air.
Muskoka has two sugar bushes for you to visit this spring, where you can stock up on fresh, pure and local maple syrup. While you are there you can meet and greet with some of the nicest people you will ever meet in the maple syrup producers. They are more than happy to answer any questions you might have, or just chat all things maple. Their knowledge and background into maple syrup is fascinating! Some sugar bushes will even offer free samples of their syrup, maple butter and maple candy, and have these treats available for purchase as well.
What are you waiting for! Ring in spring with a visit to your local sugar producer and start your journey on the Muskoka Maple Trail!
