While many people associate the flavors of maple as Canadian, the month of March in Geauga County is EVERYTHING maple. As the #1 Producer of Maple Product in the State, Geauga County offers many opportunities to sample at the many pancake breakfasts, Sugar House tours, and tree-tapping demonstrations. Geauga County Tourism even has an entire section of their website dedicated to the area’s sugaring events. (www.tourgeauga.com/maple.aspx)

Designated as a Silver Tier International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association, the Geauga County Park District’s Observatory Park in Montville Township is one of only eight Dark Sky Parks in the U.S. and the only Dark Sky Park in the state of Ohio. During staffed hours, visitors can take a look at the sky through the Oberle telescope with a naturalist or bring their own telescope during park hours and use one of the many telescope pads. (www.geaugaparkdistrict.org/parks/observatorypark.shtml)
