There is a welcome feeling of rejuvenation this time of year. The days are longer, the sun is stronger, and the ice starts to give way to running water. Just as the streams are starting to run, so is the maple sap, which is the start of Maple Season!

All over the Haliburton Highlands maple producers large and small are getting ready for this sweetest time of year; putting in taps, stoking fires and turning ordinary tree sap into the liquid gold that we all know and love.

Maple Season means many things to many people. Whether you look forward to visiting a working sugar bush to see maple syrup production behind-the-scenes, or sampling culinary creations featuring maple syrup, we have the experience for you. Our maple syrup producers welcome you to discover the magic of creating this iconic local food with guided tours and hands on activities. Is there any more iconic food experience than maple taffy on snow?

Maple syrup is not just for pancakes! Our local culinary specialists love to use the liquid gold to create everything from maple tarts to craft beer to fine dining experiences. Several of our chefs are recognized for their commitment to local ingredients – and nothing is more local than maple syrup – to create compelling fine dining experiences. Our local bakeries and cafes will wow you with their maple-infused creations (can you say maple-bacon butter tart?!?). Even our local craft breweries get in on the act, creating limited-run beers using maple sap instead of water; bottoms up!

With so much to do, you are going to want to make a weekend of it. Our website has a complete list of charming places to stay and outdoor adventures to help you work up an appetite for all the treats you are going to experience.

So, break out your rubber boots, welcome back the sun, and come join us for the Sweetness of Spring!
