Maple Sugaring
The Weekends on Saturdays and Sundays
March 1, 2020 - March 29, 2020
2:00 pm

March is Maple Sugaring Season at
Parker Dam State Park and you can
come learn how real maple syrup is
made. You’ll discover the sweet story
of maple sugaring—how it was
discovered, how it was made years
ago, and how you can make it today.
You will see examples of both
backyard hobby and large scale facets
of the sugaring trade. Learn to
identify maple trees in winter, how to
choose the right trees for tapping,
where to place the taps, and so on. A
few lucky participants will tap a maple
tree, gather in the sap, and help out.
Best part—there will be free taste
samples for all visitors. Discover the
tradition. Meet at the Sugar Shack,
near Pavilion 7—just past Cabin Road.
