Visiting Our Sugarbush

When Spring is in the air it is time to make plans to visit the Long’s’ Maple Sugarbush. The season opens when the sap starts running, usually early March to late April.

Long’s Maple Sugarbush is located in Laurier Township just south of Trout Creek, Ontario. There is much to see at Grandpa’s Old Sugar Shack and the Modern Evaporator House.

If you are so inclined, you are welcome to hike the trail to the top of the bush, or the trails through 200 acres of sugar maples.

Groups Visiting our Sugarbush

There is something for all ages at the Sugarbush. School and Group Tours can be arranged by calling 705-723-5664. Tours can be morning or afternoon. We are more than just maple syrup producers. We are all about showing you and yours around the sugar bush, introducing you to our modern pipeline collection system and letting you enjoy the smells and tastes of the boiling-down process.

Younger children receive just the right amount of fun and information as Jo-Ann leads them through the Old Sugar Shack. Children will tap their own tree, learn about collecting and boiling sap, and wild life in the bush. The tour ends with a sample of maple syrup and taffy on the snow.

Older children and adults are encouraged to learn about all aspects of the old way as compared to the modern version of making maple syrup.. And, of course, their tour, too, concludes with a sample of maple syrup and taffy on the snow as well. Cost: $3.00 per person.
