Registration, beginning February 1, is required.

    History of Maple Sugaring

    March 2, 3, 9, 10, 16 and 17 � 11 a.m.  - 4 p.m.

    Maple Grove Picnic Area � Rocky River Reservation

    The steady drip of melting snow and ice signals sap is beginning to flow and it's time to rush to collect it before the leaves bud. On weekends from March 2 through 17, walk through time along the Sugarbush Trail to see the sap-collecting methods and syrup-making processes used by Native Americans, pioneers and modern sugar farmers. The walk ends at the sugarhouse to watch sap boiled into delicious maple syrup.
