Maple weekend (on Saturday)

Hi all. Looking for recommendations for a really fun maple weekend itinerary.

I have family coming from out of town to experience maple weekend, but I’m not sure where to take them. There will be six of us, all adults. I live in portland, so I figured we could take a day trip from here (about 1.5 hours of driving or less each way)

Someone told me the town of Limerick has some good options, but I’m having trouble finding details of where to go.

Ideally we would like to: 1. See the how the mapling process works and learn from someone who does it/ ask questions 2. Hike around a forest with maple trees (if it isn’t too muddy) 3. Get a pancake breakfast 4. Visit a shop to buy maple products for them to take home.

If there is one place that does all of that, great! If we have to stop at a few places along the way, that is cool too.

And if anyone knows any bakeries or restaurants in portland that will have maple specials that weekend, let me know! Thanks ✌️ 💛 🍁
