Such a beautiful area that is full of life (expect for birds the last few days). I am studying the Naturalist course that started this past weekend and we didn't see much for a birding course unfortunately but am certain it is because of the timing. I look very forward to spending several weekends over the next few months here and learning all about the animals and environment.

My boys were 3 and 5 the last time we came to the Sugar Bush festival..they had just as much fun this past weekend at 21 and 23! Go for the maple syrup..stay for the hiking. Great day.

Fantastic day at the Sugarbush Maple Syrup Festival! Very well organized in terms of events and the hike. Food was available as well as activities such as a petting zoo, face painting, balloon animals for the kids inside. The hike was very doable with 4 kids and a baby with informative stops along the way.

Did the Maple Syrup Festival in the evening after hours. The guide did the most informative job yet of telling the story of maple syrup; from identifying types of trees vs the maple to how maple syrup was first discovered by indigenous nations and how they first came to think of and collect sap from maple trees, to the history of changes in methods etc. Fresh air, history, camp fires, and maple syrup. Great experience.
