Purple Woods
Maple Syrup Festival
Come out and experience a Canadian tradition in our sugarbush at Purple Woods Conservation Area in Oshawa!

Sap collected from hundreds of sugar maple trees is boiled on site into delicious maple syrup. On your self-guided tour, you can visit our modern evaporator, enjoy games, activities, horse-drawn wagon rides and, of course, pancakes with real maple syrup. Don't forget to stop by our Heritage Store to purchase some maple treats to take home!
