Maple Staple - Nature has a sweet way of letting us know that winter is nearly over when maple sugaring season begins in late March. The time honored tradition was first started by Native Americans who introduced early American settlers to maple sugar. Nowadays, maple flavor is used to enhance just about everything including syrup, cookies, baked goods, ice cream, jelly and tea. If you’re ready to tap into all things maple, sign up for the “March Maple Madness” package from Bear Mountain Lodge in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. Guests who stay 2 nights can learn the ins and outs of maple sugaring, sample syrups and donuts, enjoy a horse drawn wagon ride, indulge in maple themed breakfasts and take home a box of maple sugar candies and a bottle of maple syrup. The special is valid every weekend in March, including the first weekend of April.
Maple sugaring becomes a state affair in Maine when sugarhouses throughout the state open their doors for the public on March 28th for “Maine Maple Sunday.” Stay at the Greenville Inn at Moosehead Lake in Greenville, Maine and receive a special March discount of 3 nights for the price of 2. Wake up to blueberry pancakes or blueberry French Toast smothered in Maine maple syrup and take a quick drive to two nearby sugar houses. Ask the innkeeper for a guide to all sugarhouses and receive free maple samples at each sugarhouse, such as maple candy, maple syrup drizzled on ice cream, mini pancakes, muffins and a chance to win various door prizes.
