Maple Sugaring in New York

New York is one of the few places in the world where Sugar Maple trees (our official state tree) thrive and maple syrup is produced. Native Americans taught early settlers in this area how to create this delicious natural treat. Today New York State is one of the world’s top producers of maple products.

Celebrate nature's sweetness during Maple Weekend happening March 22-23 and March 29-30, 2025! Visit sugarhouses across the state for free to experience the tapping process and taste maple syrup straight from the source! 

Open year-round, Sprague's Maple Farms in the Chautauqua-Allegheny region celebrates maple season at their sugarhouse with tree-tapping demonstrations and old-fashioned family fun. In the Adirondacks, the Lake George area's sweetest maple farms open their sugar shack doors for three weekends in March as a part of Thurman Maple Days. Maple Weekends at Soukup Farms in the Hudson Valley also returns for 2025 in March with maple tours, syrup making, and tasty maple treats.    

You will find many maple recipes and lots more information on maple syrup, farm tours, and more at the New York State Maple Association. Wherever you go to experience New York's maple, just be sure to stock up. You'll never go back to grocery store "pancake syrup" after getting a taste of the real thing in New York.
