Visitors to Sault Ste. Marie can’t help but be envious of this massive expanse of brown-sugar sand within city limits. Clear, shallow water with a sandy bottom makes it ideal for family swimming; the water here tends to be warmer than other Lake Superior swim spots, as well. The Disc Golf Park is open. The Beach Bus operates seasonally. Check the city website for summer schedules.

Maple Hill Farm

La ferme Despatie est devenue la Ferme Côte d'érables

The Maple Hill Farm – Ferme côte d’érables Inc.’s story begins quite some time ago. The 35-acre property on which our farm sits has been a hub for social gatherings and community life since the early 20th century. It is an important local landmark, known in our area as the “Despatie Maple Farm – La ferme Despatie”. It is a particularly meaningful place for Northern-Ontarians who, for decades, have come to celebrate the arrival of spring and enjoy the land’s first harvest of the year – pure maple syrup!
