🚨 ANOTHER UPDATE: Sugar Camp Days 🚨

Good news! Crews have been working since early this morning clearing park roads after several trees came down in yesterday’s high winds. We are on track to open today (3/14) from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM. 🌲

🥞 Please note: The pancake and sausage breakfast has been canceled for today.
🍁 All other Sugar Camp Days activities will still take place as planned!

Thank you for your patience while crews worked to make the park safe for visitors. We’re excited to welcome everyone this afternoon and hope to see you there! 😊
