Begin your adventure with an inside look at the life of a sled dog!
Tour our micro kennel, where you'll meet members of our Sled Dog Family, see what their home life is like, and learn about their history, routines, and the deep bond they share with their Mushers.

After 20 minutes of immersive interaction and Q&A, your Guide and Dog Team will arrive. Feel their excitement build as they prepare to hit the trails, while you settle into one of our handcrafted dog sleds — many built with love by the owner’s Father! Each sled is outfitted with custom memory foam cushions, warm blankets, and a windproof, weather resistant sled bag to keep the wind and cold off from you.

As your sled glides through 250 acres of private woodland trails, feel the magic of winter come alive.
Twist and turn through narrow forest paths that evoke the spirit of traditional backwoods dogsledding. Watch your dog team light up with joy as they run, pull, and work together — doing what they love most and leading you on a true winter adventure.

After 45 minutes on the trail, You will arrive at our Woodland Break spot! Enjoy 30 minutes Gathering around smoke-free fire pits to warm up and toast marshmallows from a delightful s’mores board. Your Sled team will enjoy their break and a treat as well!

After an additional 45 Minutes on the trail navigating the twists and turns of the tight Woodland trails, return to share a quiet moment with your team. Enjoy 10 minutes of heartfelt bonding — giving well earned praise and goodbye pets to the incredible athletes who made your Adventure possible!. Treats are always welcome as a thank you for a job well done!
Afterward, step inside to warm up with complimentary hot cocoa, coffee, or tea! There are more Sled Dogs awaiting your company — feel free to relax, snap some photos, and stay as long as you like!
