Editor's Pick:

Learn how to tap a tree, collect sap and discover the history of harvesting maple syrup. See if you can tell the difference between pure maple syrup and the artificially-flavored variety.

Offered February 24 (additional festivities offered) through March 18. On opening day, visitors can experience expanded maple festivities along with their tour, including crafts, games, Native American story-telling around a campfire and more.

Two types of Maple Sugar Tours are offered:

Sugarbush Tours (11am, 1pm, and 2pm): A one-mile moderate hike through field and forest to the sugar shack (weather dependent)
Maple Lane Tours (12pm and 3pm): Suitable for little legs, a short walk to the sugar maple stand

Tours take about 1 hour. Tour size is limited, so visitors are urged to sign up for their walking tours as soon as they arrive. Maple products and hot chocolate are available for purchase.
