It’s Maple Time!
Springtime means it’s maple time in Muskoka! The spring harvest symbolizes the end of winter and the beginning of warmer weather, longer days, and of course the harvesting of our beloved maple syrup.
We love our local maple syrup in Muskoka, and we celebrate the harvesting of Canada’s most beloved natural product accordingly. Hop on the Muskoka Maple Trail throughout March and April, or visit downtown Huntsville for the grandest maple celebration of them all – either way, experience the sweeter side of Muskoka this Spring!
