Open Sugar House

Great Mountain Forest‘s sugar house will be open to visitors, provided there is enough sap to boil. The Forest has a 70-year tradition of collecting and boiling sap, making maple syrup and bottling it for sale; its collection system and evaporator are thoroughly up to date, but heat for boiling still comes from wood. GMF staff will be on hand to explain it all. We suggest visitors call ahead; as soon as staff know, they will put a message on the forestry office answering machine (860-542-5422) indicating whether there is enough sap to boil. Cross your fingers!
