It's officially maple season here in Cortland County, and we have three ways you can celebrate all things syrup. Each weekend, beginning March 22 through March 30, the sap will be running throughout the county for NYS Maple Weekends.

So, grab your family and your best pancake batter and get ready for some sweet adventures!

Hop on the NYS Maple Trail and head on over to Cooper Hill Maple. Cooper Hill Maple will offer free sugar shack tours and demos, tastings, sweet maple teamed treats, and photo ops for the whole family throughout the two weekends.
