Visit Geauga Park District’s sugar house and sugarbush at Swine Creek Reservation on Sundays, March 7 or 14, from noon to 4 PM for a sweet taste of how maple sugaring methods have evolved from the Native American tradition to modern methods — no registration required! With your troop or your family, you’ll help gather sap in the sugarbush with a horse-drawn sap sled, experience tapping, gathering and boiling methods used throughout history, see sap boiling in the sugar house, and try some of Geauga Park District’s own homemade and award-winning pure maple syrup.
