Dog Sledding

We are open for a new season, welcoming dogsledding guests to come and celebrate our dogs with us.  To reserve your 2023-2024 dogsledding experience, use our online booking calendar below.

Come enjoy our new property with 102 acres of woods and fields. It is a very private, remote property with stunning views of Sharon Springs and the surrounding hills.

In our kennel of 16 dogs, we have 12 working, non-retired dogs this season. We also have 4 retired dogs needing lots of TLC too! We do have 5 puppies born last fall too, who will help in the next few years with the dogs who will retire!

All guests under 18 must have an adult chaperone to enter. The hour experience can include individual or shared rides, however each ride has a 300 pound weight limit with any combination of passengers. (This weight number is dependent on snow quality and quantity and which sled or cart we use). Please note, we do not have a bathroom for guests. There is a Stewarts Shop about 1 mile from us as an alternative.

Sledding WITHOUT SNOW: It’s just as much FUN!!  If there is not enough snow we will be using a wheeled cart.

What To Know Before You Go

Please keep your own dogs at home or secure in your car. Sled dogs can become very excited and anxious with personal dogs around them when they are working.

Dress for the weather! If we do not believe you are adequately dressed for your excursion, we will not take you for the ride and will not refund. Please bring a camera, you will definitely want to take pictures!

Trail conditions are highly variable and will affect the type of sled/cart and length of ride. Very warm or icy conditions may make it unsafe to ride the trail.
