Kortright Centre For Conservation - Maple Syrup

Maple Syrup

Between March and mid-April, Kortright Centre features demonstrations of syrup-making as it was done during the pioneer days. Maple syrup products are also served in the main attraction. It shows an log house in which the First Nations used to live in during the pioneer times in the surrounding area, as well as holes used for sap from the maple trees, which are numbered. It also show older markings from the previous years. Further down the hill is the marking of the biggest maple tree (not an actual tree) which is from Pelham. Inside is the small syrup shack with displays of how maple syrup was made during the pioneering days. The shack has about 5 rows of seats. The distance is about 400 to 500 m west by southwest.
