Maple Syrup Festival

 

There's nothing like the taste of fresh maple syrup on pancakes! Let a Naturalist show you how to identify and tap maples; then help collect the sap! As the sugaring mist wafts its way, see if you can tell the difference between non-maple syrup and "The Real McCoy!" Sample maple donuts and sassafras tea, and shop for baked goods and maple syrup. Reservations are not required.
 

The meal cost is $6.50 for adults and $4.50 for children (ages 5-12). All proceeds benefit summer youth camperships.
