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

Special events on kick off day, Saturday, February 8, include fireside stories, journey cakes, and tap-drilling contests. 

Two types of Maple Sugar Tours are offered: 

  • Sugarbush Tours (11am, 1pm, and 2pm): A 1-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

Dress for the weather (and possible mud), not stroller-friendly.
