Black Maple Farm
4 sites · Lodging, Tents6 acres · Harrowsmith, ON
For the last 24 years we have lived here on our 6 acres of property where our Maple Sugar Bush allows us to produce our very own maple syrup every spring.
[Side note: The sugar shack itself has been on the property for over 40 years.]
We also raise a small but varied collection of farm animals, grow vegetables, and operate a 3 generation (Mother, Daughter, and Granddaughter) Artisan Craft Business, that sells handmade "Canadiana Themed" Home Decor goods and Maple Products at our local Farmer's Market.( Visit us on Instagram @Blackmaplefarm)
Our Farm is located on the very edge of the Canadian Shield, so most of the landscape is a rocky, rugged, and naturally wooded. Throughout the property are numerous short, looping, walking trails that meander throughout the Sugar bush, pasture area, 3 season pond, and our farm animal "homes". These trails are perfect for short nature walks, where you'll experience natural wildflowers and plants, see and hear song birds, small animal wildlife and of course, farm life too.
We are also located on the edge of the Eastern Ontario "Dark Sky" Area, which means we have a very nice view from the edge of our pasture of the North Sky stars on a clear night, with very minimal light pollution.
Our varied collection of farm animals includes; lots of chickens, (including roosters who DO crow in the early morning hours), miniature goats, horses, a couple of barn cats, and a dog.
During your stay with us you are welcome to come learn about and interact with our animals and daily farm life, if you so desire, and farm fresh eggs and maple syrup are also available to purchase too.

The best camping near Menzel Centennial Provincial Park guide
Overview
About
Menzel Centennial Provincial Park is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of southeastern Ontario. This nature reserve is a sanctuary for diverse ecosystems and rare species, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in its serene beauty. With no visitor facilities, the park is a pristine escape for birdwatching, wildlife viewing, nature photography, and hiking amid its 19 different natural habitats.
When to go
The best time to visit Menzel Centennial Provincial Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the trails are accessible and the wildlife is most active. Winter visits can be challenging due to snow and limited access, making it less ideal for those unprepared for cold-weather hiking.
Know before you go
- Check weather conditions before your visit, as the park is subject to seasonal changes that can affect accessibility.
- Wear appropriate footwear for hiking, as the terrain can be uneven and wet in areas.
- Bring your binoculars and camera to capture the park's rare species and scenic landscapes.
- Respect the natural habitat by staying on designated trails and observing wildlife from a distance.
