Your Traditional Canadian Maple Farm

Our 2018 Syrup Season is open February 25th until late April

...get ready to make sweet memories.

This is an exciting time of year - the snow melts, the days get longer, and as winter breaks...we welcome our first crop of the season: maple syrup! Sand Road Maple Farm boasts 75 acres of mature forest, with a large pine lodge, located on the fringe of Ottawa, Ontario (Canada's National Capital Region). It doesn't get any more Canadian than this! We are a fully operational maple farm. At our family farm you can experience maple syrup making the way it has been done for centuries.

Restaurant Seating:

Our lodge offers seating for 170 guests. All of our tables seat 8-10 guests.

From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. all seating is first come first served. Groups are welcome at anytime; however, group reservations are only available outside of peak hours. A group reservation allows us to ensure tables are available, so the group can dine together.

Groups with reservations must wait in line with other guests.

Bringing a Tour Group? Call or e-mail and we will be pleased to arrange an educational and fun-filled visit to Sand Road Maple Farm.

Note: We do not grant exclusivity to groups during our spring season from March to April 25, all activities will remain open to the general public.
