Maple Sugaring in New York

Savor New York’s sweetest natural treat, maple syrup.

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 how to create this delicious natural treat, and today, New York State ranks among the world's top maple producers.

Celebrate nature's sweetness during Maple Weekends, March 21-22 and March 28-29, 2026! Visit sugarhouses across the state for free to experience the tapping process and taste maple syrup straight from the source.

Enjoy the evergreen maple season at Sprague's Maple Farms in the Chautauqua-Allegheny region. Stick around for Thurman Maple Days in Lake George for three weekends of sweet, syrupy fun, or head to the Hudson Valley where Soukup Farms hosts Maple Weekends featuring maple tours, syrup making, and tasty maple treats.
