To welcome spring, Grafton Lakes State Park is providing one hour backyard maple sugaring demonstrations on Saturday, March 19, and Saturday, March 26, at 10 and 11 am at the Park Office.
The program will demonstrate ten easy steps for making maple sugar at home. It encourages participants to try tapping trees, collecting and boiling the sap down and testing the flavor. This outdoor event is ideal for the whole family and an enjoyable way to celebrate the changing season. All participants can savor a sampling of sap as
well as freshly made syrup. The fee for the program is $2 per participant or $5 per family. There are limited spots so pre-registration is required by calling 279-1155.
Even though spring is just around the corner, it is not here yet! The trails at Grafton Lakes State Park are still covered by a white blanket of snow. Conditions are perfect for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and ice skating. Snowshoe rentals are available at the Park office. As weather can change conditions quickly, call the Park Office to confirm at 279-1155.
