Maple Tree Tap

It's that time of year again!  Bring the family out for our annual Maple Tree Tap at Botna Bend Park in Hancock, Iowa between 11 AM and 2 PM . Come learn the basics of syrup making—from tapping the trees to bottling the final product. You'll even get to explore the syrup shack at Botna Bend and learn how we make this sweet, sticky treat for our annual Pancake Feed every fall.

If temperatures are cooperative and the sap is flowing, you'll also have an opportunity to taste the fresh sap as it flows from a maple tree!

This event is free with a $3 park entry fee or an annual permit. This event will take place outside; please dress for the weather. 

Please note: As much as we'd like to have syrup available for sale, all syrup produced is currently used at our annual Pancake Feed in the fall. Any surplus that might be available may be sold then. Thank you!

For questions not answered here, please call 712-242-1189.
