DOGSLED TRIPS
Our dogs are the heart of our business and there is nothing quite like dog sledding through a forest of snow and out onto a frozen lake. Because we know this, we proudly offer multi day trips like no other. Our most popular trips are run right in the heart of Algonquin Park. For those feeling more adventurous, we also offer expeditions ranging across the Canadian North.
We believe strongly that multi day trips are by far the best way to experience the true magic that comes from working with a team of dogs through the truly rewarding partnership of wilderness travel. You will be forever changed after driving your own team of loveable Alaskan Huskies, sleeping in the comfort of our heated prospector tents and eating wholesome home cooked meals while thriving in a wilderness setting. We understand why it’s so hard to say goodbye at the end of your time with us!
