Maple sugaring weekend with kettles and ranger stories
Spend a spring weekend tasting fresh maple syrup, touring historic farms, and joining ranger-led demos at Sleeping Bear Dunes on Lake Michigan.
Event details
Sweet spring arrives early along Lake Michigan, and Sleeping Bear Dunes marks the season with Maple Sugaring Days, a hands-on weekend of sap, steam, and history. Families can watch the old-school process from tap to kettle, sample syrup, and learn why these hardwoods mattered to settlers and to today’s shoreline forests.
Programs run at the park’s historic farm sites, pairing food with storytelling. Come ready for muddy paths and cool breezes off the dunes, and plan to linger for the warm smell of boiling sap.
