4. When can I see maple syrup production in Ontario?
If past years are any indication the "first boil" of maple sap
north of Toronto will take place during the week of March 13 or the middle
of the March (Spring) break. Two years ago, the resort destinations of
Grey/Bruce started on March 15 and Haliburton/Kawarthas started their
first maple sap boil on March 22. These dates were reported by the Ontario
Ministry of Food and Agriculture. Many destinations north of Toronto may
have independent operators with earlier starts. Check the Maple
Syrup Festivals page, or the resort
getaway packages for maple syrup during the march break.
5 . When do fall colours (colors) start in Ontario?
Ontario fall colour changes are very subtle in the later part of August
slowly changing until the first frost in northern area, then rapidly
progressing until the middle of October. The best fall colours normally
peak in and around the end of September in the popular resort areas such
as Muskoka and Haliburton north of Toronto. Colours start earlier the
further north in Ontario you travel. See
our suggested fall colour road trips. |
