Maple Bluff Farm is a 45 acre sugarbush in beautiful Muskoka; we are Huntsville's neighbourhood sugarbush! We offer shopping in our shop on the farm or online for porch pickup or shipping of Pure Muskoka Maple Syrup and gourmet maple products. When it is safe to do so, we will be offering tours of our farm again. Pop by and visit our self-guided interpretive trail during business hours!

I love going to Maple Bluff Farm each year. Their tour shows the immaculate conditions they keep for the maple harvesting. The owners (Bob & Michelle) are so friendly and passionate, producing maple products are delicious and varied ~ from their maple butter to BBQ sauce and dressings to pancake mixes. A “must see” farm in Huntsville.

We had a wonderful time in Huntsville looking at the stores and purchasing items at the various stores and did a walk about looking at the sculpture and outdoor wall murals and reading the signage about the paintings. We didn't see all of them, but did enjoy what we did see. The day was sunny and relatively warm. A glorious day - we would like to visit it again when it's a little warmer...maybe in July.

Not too many people get to see this very original monument, as it is located in the middle of the forest. In addition, the one-way narrow, potholed dirt road leading to it may be tricky to find—and then a little challenging to drive on, especially for smaller vehicles. A brief history: The memorial was erected by Detroit lawyer Clifton Dyer in 1956 near the Big East River, as a tribute to his wife Betsy Browne Dyer. Mr. Dyer purchased the land where the monument is built over one hundred years ago, after he and his wife honeymooned there. The couple’s ashes are also interned there. The property had been owned and ‘managed’ by the Dyer Memorial Trust based in the USA, but in 2010 it was donated (along with the trust’s funds) to Muskoka Conservancy. The inscription on the monuments reads: ERECTED IN FOND MEMORY OF BETSY BROWN DYER 1884-1956 BY HER HUSBAND CLIFTON G. DYER 1885-1959 AS A PERMANENT TRIBUTE TO HER FOR THE NEVER-FAILING AID, ENCOURAGEMENT AND INSPIRATION WHICH SHE CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR MARRIED CAREER AND AS A FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR THEIR ASHES. An Affectionate, Loyal, and Understanding Wife is Life's Greatest Gift. The monument is surrounded by 2 acres of landscaped land, but the total area of the property is 155 acres. It is a perfect place to meditate, walk, relax and enjoy surrounding nature. We found a trail/dirt road behind the monument (most likely used by ATVs, in spite of the “NO ATVs” sign) and half an hour later we came to another road, which led us to the parking lot. As expected, we were the only visitors and did not see anybody else.
