The lake next to our land (Sand Lake, Sugar Camp Chain of Lakes, Sugar Camp Wisconsin) is at 1597 but we start about 5 feet higher from lake level and the land slopes up from there about 15 feet to the back of the 55 acres. The trees further from the lake seem to "dispense" earlier than the few close to the lake. I think things thaw out faster further from the lake in spring? Its all mixed woods but more old growth hemlock near the lake, more birch, pine, and popple further from it. Jay
About 1043 feet above sea level in NE Ohio near Pa border.
We're right around 970' on north side of Little Mountain - Lake and Geauga County line
Right around 1250’ just east of PA/OH boarder.
1100 feet in Delaware County, NY
Sugar house sitting at around 980ft, lowest point where i collect most sap is 700ft with lots of sun exposure.
I have tubing that runs from about 1060' down to about 960', and another 40 buckets that sit around the 940' - 920' mark. All are East facing.
My sugarbush is at about 1700, and my house is 8 miles down the road at about 1000. BIG differences in weather between the two places! Always more snow up there in the bush, and usually colder (except on those weird inversion days). If you are ever driving down I-89 south of Montpelier and the weather turns nasty for a few miles between exit 4 and 5, you are probably on the ridge where I tap. It's the spot that always turns into a blizzard when there is a gentle snow falling in Montpelier and White River. I don't have enough data yet to tell for sure, but I'm hoping that the altitude means my season will run a little late. I don't have much good to show for this season yet.
central ny, about 450 ft. highest tap about 900 and another woods averages about 425.
Sugarhouse is at 1300 feet. Lowest taps are at 1400 and we go up from there. There always seems to be snow at much house in the winter when it isn't snowing anyway else around me. Usually still snow in the cold spots when I'm pulling spouts.
ronewold I know that stretch very well. There and route 4 over Mendon Mountain you don't want to get caught taking your snow tires off to soon or it will bite you for sure.
