Visit Us!
We’re currently hard at work preparing our sugarbush for our 2026 Maple Sugaring Season and can’t wait to welcome you back to the sugarhouse soon!
Maple Sugaring Season (March/April): We kick off maple sugaring season with two special Open House Weekends when guests are invited to stop by for tours, tastings, and a firsthand look at the sugaring process. During sugaring season, you’re also welcome to visit anytime you see steam rising from the sugarhouse — that means we’re boiling, and we love when neighbors and visitors stop in to say hello and share in the experience!
Summer/Fall Season: We re-open May 17, 2026 for the Race Around The Lake and will continue regular hours every weekend of the summer and fall season!

All Things Maple
At Silver Lake Syrups, we do things the "old-fashioned way." We collect sap from the maple trees in our sugarbush during the early spring months and spend many hours tending our wood-fired evaporator, boiling sap until it becomes Maple Syrup. With no artificial flavoring, additives or preservatives, our finished product has a complex and rich maple flavor, one that we are so excited for you to try!

Maple Creemees!
We LOVE our Maple Creemees at Silver Lake Syrups!
What even IS a Maple Creemee??
Maple Creemees are a Vermont specialty that is very similar to soft serve ice cream. However, true Maple Creemees are NOT just soft serve ice cream! Creamier than soft serve, Maple Creemees have a velvety soft texture due to its higher fat content. At Silver Lake Syrups, we even add our very own Maple Syrup to our Creemee base. It's delicious!! A must try!
How do I get one of your Maple Creemees? During the summer and fall months, we sell Maple Creemees in our sugarhouse, though you can also find our tent at certain community events! Check our social media for where we will be next! OR... Rent a Maple Creemee Machine for your next event from Silver Lake Syrups Rentals, LLC.!
