Deerhurst’s Maple Discovery Trail:
Make your way along an interpretative trail leading from the sugar bush pump house at the bottom of the hill, up through the maple woods to the Deerhurst Sugar Shack at the top. Along the way guests can follow the story of how maple syrup is made, gather ‘Fun Facts’ to answer our Maple Syrup quiz then enjoy a sweet maple treat at the sugar shack around the campfire
