From: Hartwick Pines State Park Hartwick Pines Maple Syrup Time
Learn about the history of maple sugar making in North America
on Saturday, March 23, 2013 from 10am to 4pm, as you help tap a
maple tree and observe the boil-down process which converts
maple sap into maple syrup. Of course, the day would not be
complete without sampling this tasty Michigan product. Children
can participate in a variety of fun and educational hands-on
activities during Maple Syrup Day at Hartwick Pines. Among their
unique experiences, they will construct a paper version of a
mokuk, a birchbark container used by native peoples to transport
maple syrup. This event is free of charge, although a Michigan
state parks Recreation Passport is required for park entry.
