Self Guided Maple Syrup Trail at Edward L. Ryerson Conservation Area

Learn the sweet science behind how trees make sap, and how we turn that sap into real maple syrup as you hike along this self-guided trail.

This self-guided trail is free; no registration is required.

Follow the signs from the Ryerson Woods Welcome Center to the trailhead. The trail is open from 6:30 am to sunset.
