Tap Into the Sweet Side of Spring
As the snow melts and the sap begins to flow, spring brings a sweet tradition to Ruttger’s Bay Lake Resort. Whether you have a sweet tooth for homemade syrup or are just looking for a fun spring getaway, this weekend is packed with unforgettable experiences for everyone.
The festivities kick off Friday night with a maple-themed dinner featuring flavors inspired by this amber treat.
On Saturday, guests can participate in a hands-on demonstration to learn how maple syrup is made, from tree to table. A craft spirit tasting, beer poking, and pudgie pies by the bonfire add a flavorful twist to the afternoon, while those looking for a bit of rejuvenation can enjoy a sauna and cold plunge.
Sunday morning brings the grand finale—the Flap Jack Feast. This sweet and hearty breakfast features our very own maple syrup and is the perfect way to savor the weekend’s experience before heading home.
Whether you come for the food, the fun, or the fresh spring air, the Poke the Bear Maple Tap event is the perfect way to welcome the new season.
