The Lumberjack Tasting Trail was created in honor of our lumber heritage. In 1805, David Litz was the first settler to run a raft of logs down the Susquehanna River; and from 1840 to 1890, lumber proved the dominate industry with over 12 billion board feet of lumber cut during that time and an average of 2000 rafts making runs annually. Rafting was a common means of transporting the logs from forests to markets, and yet it was not without its risks. Since logging was seasonal work, many farmers worked in the woods during the winter and early spring, and then tended to their fields as soon as the weather was nice enough to plant. Agricultural production was another large industry and had long been a way of life for many citizens. Even to this day, as many as 33 families continue to work on family farms that have been in operation for over 100 years. Out of the 228 miles of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River you can enjoy 102 miles of it in Clearfield County.

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.

March is typically maple sugaring season here at Parker Dam, but the process is very weather dependent—and as we have been experiencing, the weather can be fickle. Regardless, we will be covering how maple sugaring started, how the practice has changed over the years (and yet remained the same), and how the big producers make syrup, and how you can make it in your own back yard. From identifying maple trees in winter, to where and how to tap, to what you can use to gather the sap, and finally how to turn that fresh maple sap into pure maple syrup. Taste samples at the conclusion of the program Demonstration Dates: Each demonstration starts at 2:00pm. March 2nd, 3rd, 9th, 10th,16th, 17th, 23rd, 24th, and 30th
