The fifth season is here- the Maple Sugarin’ Season! Bring your families, bring your friends to celebrate this sappy gift from the trees at Riveredge’s annual Maple Sugarin’ Festival on March 14th!

Choose your adventure as you hike through the maple forest where you can tap a tree, trade nature items for maple candies, observe various means of syrup production through history, complete a sappy scavenger hunt, and create a nature-based craft. Upon arrival at the Sugarbush House, enjoy live music while you sip sap tea, or maple-sugar rimmed beer for the adults, and taste the Riveredge special – pancakes & pickles! You’ll learn just how sap is made into golden & sweet maple syrup.
