NEW! “Historic Pakenham sugar bush reinvents itself after closure of pancake house”, by Ashley Kulp, Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette – see it on Inside Ottawa Valley.
That’s right, no more pancake house / restaurant!
But there is so much else to enjoy at Fulton’s Sugarbush & Maple Shop. Read this whole page before you visit, and review our 2023 Season page.
Do you have a restaurant?
No. Our Pancake House Restaurant has closed permanently. That same space has been transformed into a beautiful, more spacious retail shopping area.
Do you have any food to purchase?
Yes! During our Maple Season, we have several “grab-n-go” refreshments available for purchase on-site (decadent maple cookies, butter tarts, hot chocolate, coffee, tea etc.).
All food is to be enjoyed outdoors; we have no indoor seating. On select weekends we have visiting pop up food vendors. Watch our social media pages Facebook and Instagram for updates.
You can also pick up a breakfast bundle in the Maple Shop to cook your favourite Fulton’s pancake meal at home.
And don’t forget a Sugar Bush MUST:
Maple Taffy $4 (card payment preferred) – available at the Taffy Shack on Saturdays and Sundays only during Maple Season.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an entrance fee?
YES! For those staying to enjoy the property — use the trails, playground, bring a picnic lunch, visit the Heritage Path, etc. — there is a $10 site fee/VEHICLE/day (yes…per vehicle! Invite your friends and carpool to Fulton’s).
If you would like to enjoy the trails more often during our season, there is a $40/month/vehicle option. Brush off those skis and snow shoes! More details here.
Purchase your site fee online or pay on the day of arrival if the Maple Shop will be open. Watch for signs.
Just coming to shop or pick up an online order? The site fee does not apply.
To walk the trails are snowshoes needed?
Our Maple Syrup Producer, Scott, does an amazing job grooming the trails throughout the season. Most of the time, just your boots will do.
As temperatures rise, the snow will soften, become patchy, and then be replaced by Spring mud. Warm, waterproof boots are always recommended.
Are there washrooms onsite?
- Indoor: 2 small indoor washrooms and a baby change station in the Maple Shop (retail store)
Are pets allowed?
No. As we have horses on site, visiting pets are not allowed on the property (except licensed service dogs).
Accessible parking and entrance?
There is a designated accessible parking area near the Maple Shop. Please watch for the signs. If you require any assistance, please ask our staff or ring the doorbell at either doors. We’re happy to help!
Will you have horse-drawn sleigh rides this year?
Yes, Mitchell’s Sleigh Rides are excited to return this season from 11am on these days:
- Saturdays and Sundays during the sugarbush season (until Apr 9)
- Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the Easter weekend (April 7 – 9)
- Every day of the Ontario March Break
As always, sudden changes in weather can result in cancellations, so always check our social media (Facebook and Instagram) for any last minute updates. The fee is $4/person, payable to the Mitchell Team (cash only – no ATM on site).
Other outdoor activities (no charge)
We have a small playground, sledding hill (bring your own small sled), 8km of trails and trail games (bring your own cross country skis or snowshoes). The Heritage Path is a great historical area. On select weekends, gather around the campfire with our Outdoor Educator, Chad. Watch our social media pages Facebook and Instagram for updates.
