It’s the Sweetest Time of Year at Conservation Halton – the syrup will be running – Burlington Gazette
February 26, 2026
The sweetest time of year returns starting on February 28, 2026, as Maple Season kicks off at Conservation Halton’s parks.
Running on weekends, holidays, and March Break until April 5, 2026, this cherished tradition invites guests to experience the transformation of maple tree sap into syrup at Mountsberg’s Maple Town and explore the Indigenous origins of maple sugaring at Crawford Lake Conservation Area.
In the sugar bush at Mountsberg’s Maple Town, visitors can watch sap transform into syrup in the evaporator, warm up by a fireside lounge, or help their kids become ‘certified’ Sugar Rangers through fun challenges. Sweet samples of maple sugar and fresh syrup await, along with syrup drizzled pancakes at the Pancake Pavilion and maple treats available at the Country Store and Discovery Centre Gift Shop.
