PAKENHAM MAPLE RUN TOUR
WANDER, EXPERIENCE AND INDULGE at this Year's PAKENHAM MAPLE RUN TOUR
This is the mantra of the Pakenham Maple Run Tour to give you many great reasons to WANDER up to Pakenham, just a short drive from Ottawa off of hwy. 417 and create new memories.
EXPERIENCE great art, crafts, a working maple syrup bush and local history. There are two of the Seven Wonders of Lanark right in Pakenham. St.Peter's Celestine Church. The second wonder at the impressive 5 span stone bridge to see the spring runoff roaring over the rapids as it goes down the Mississippi River. And, check out the historic Pakenham General Store which is longest continually running General Store in North America....since 1840!
INDULGE your taste buds in discovering delicious locally crafted maple syrup, food, coffee and beer. It's a perfect way to celebrate the Lanark County maple syrup season with a stop at Fulton's Pancake House and Sugar Bush and then continue your way to Pakenham to visit the various tour stops to meet the artists presenting their creativity and food vendors their delectable fair.
On April 4 & 5, from 10am to 5pm pick up a Maple Run guide map and take this popular self-guided tour taking you in and around the quaint village of Pakenham and its surrounding area. Tour Brochures with map and vendor information can be found at any tour stop location (look for the green maple leaf ), Fulton's Sugar Bush, the Pakenham General Store or on line at mapleruntour.com
