A Sweet Trip Along the Muskoka Maple Trail
Maple season is almost upon us in Ontario! This spring, enjoy the Muskoka Maple Trail in all its sweet, delicious glory. With new stops being added every day, you’ll want to keep your eye on this one.

The maple trail is a series of stops across Muskoka that are infusing locally-harvested maple syrup into their culinary offerings. They include menu items at restaurants, drinks, sugar bush tours, maple experiences and more.
Guests can visit during open hours to enjoy these offerings- yum!

With more stops being added to the Maple Trail every day, it’s the perfect chance to try some really unique tastes while taking part in a quintessential Canadian Taste of Place during Muskoka’s shoulder season when the area is less busy but equally beautiful.
We’re stoked to try the 5-course beer pairing menu at Clear Lake Brewing and the charred pork back ribs with Muskoka maple molasses BBQ sauce from 3 Guys & a Stove for starters.
For something a bit more interactive, we can’t wait to go on a sugar bush tour at Sugarbush Hill Maple Farm – trying their Maple Creemees are an absolute must because they’re made right on site and absolute delicious!
Another hit with the family would be the horse-drawn carriage ride through the woods at Back of Beyond Equine Centre – you can roast your own marshmallows over the fire while enjoying some maple hot chocolate!
Want to get a little excited yourself? See what else is happening. This list is growing every day.
