It’s maple sugaring time! Come to Creek Bend Nature Center to explore the art, science, and folklore of the “sugar bush.” Learn how to identify and tap a maple tree and try your hand at drilling and setting a tap. We’ll simmer sap over an open fire and watch as it thickens to syrup. Relax with a mug of hot cocoa and enjoy ice cream with a drizzle of syrup in the Maple Café. After a day of fun, purchase some locally-sourced maple syrup to take home with you. Back by popular demand: Relax under the heated tent and enjoy our exclusive “Maple River” brown ale, custom-crafted with real maple syrup by our friends at Riverlands Brewing Company.
No registration required.
