Description

***IMPORTANT: all prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in US dollars*** Base rate of $10 is for 2 adults and 1 puppy for one hour. Additional adults and puppies are $5 each. Children free. :) Add additional adults using the extra feature. Note as of May 25: As spring continues and water levels recede, the sugar bush will dry out, and trail conditions will improve. At present, you can walk down to the river, though some areas are muddy, so wearing proper footwear is recommended. In Northern Ontario, warm weather brings black flies and mosquitoes, so dress accordingly and consider using bug spray. Like us on Facebook at Sugar Bush Acres for updates and latest trail conditions. Hello and welcome to our piece of paradise! Our property (45 acres) offers numerous walking trails and open spaces to romp and play. Your dog can enjoy an off-leash experience and a great opportunity to explore and be dogs! So many new smells they will be exhausted before you know it. Open field for you to play fetch or train. 100% totally private. No other dogs or humans during your time. We have approx. 3 km of nature trails that weave their way through our property. In summer and fall the trails are cleared of any debris, but are hiking trails and appropriate footwear is recommended. In winter, trails are packed and many are suitable for dog powered sports such as skijoring, kicksleding, dogsleding. etc. For those that are interested we have a kicksled, ESLA T6, that can be rented. Currently it's not equipped to hook up to dogs. For those who are involved in dog powered sports we're happy to support this community by offering designated times for individuals to gathering and train together. Send us a message to chat. Two spots have been cleared for entrance into the water and bench for you to sit on, check the map for locations. There's also a one acre field at the top of the property for training or playing catch, east of the north limit. Various wildlife has been spotted on the property which provides excellent sniff opportunities for your pet. Located in Northern Ontario, expect mosquitoes in spring, summer, and fall - dress accordingly and wear bug repellent if you so choose. If you have excellent recall your puppies can go off-leash. We ask that you wait until you are on the trails to release them. A recommend route is on the map and starts with heading north on the Orchard Trail, west on the North Limit, south on the Back 40, which then takes you down into the sugar bush. You can either cut cross west on Yoko's trail or continue on Maple's Way where there are several trails that branch off of it. Taking Mia's Loop will takes you east towards the road and loop back to the Sugar Bush Trail where you can cross over and head west to Chloe's loop or down to the river. Signs are posted at the beginning and end of each trail to help you navigate. Enjoy this time how you see fit and take nature in the best way possible. Please park to the righthand side of the barn. A map of the trails has been included in the pictures feel free to download or print. Copies are also available in the mail box by solar panels. Happy to get your feedback on the trails and your experience.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

The river that runs through the property has a strong current and in winter there are areas that don't freeze over. Keep your pet off the river. For summer swimming, dogs must be strong swimmers in order to manage the current. There is no fence, therefore as pet owners you need to be able to recall your pet, or use a leash for their safety. The trails are through the bush so the ground is uneven with stumps and tree roots, and there's potential for falling branches. During winter the trails are packed and depending on weather conditions may have ice patches underneath. Wildlife has been spotted on the property including bears, moose, deer, fox, and rabbits. Living in Northern Ontario expect mosquitos - dress accordingly and wear bug repellent if you so choose. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water
