Along the way, visitors learn how maple trees are tapped to collect sap and watch a live demonstration of how sap is cooked down into sweet maple syrup.
The experience wraps up at a pancake station, where the finished syrup is served over freshly made pancakes. Guests are encouraged to dress for the weather and wear shoes suitable for trail walking.
