Dog Sledding

We are open for a new season, welcoming dogsledding guests to come and celebrate our dogs with us.  To reserve your 2024-2025 dogsledding experience, use our online booking calendar below.

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

In our kennel of 13 dogs, we have 11 working, non-retired dogs this season. We also have 2 retired dogs needing lots of TLC too!

Get the EXPERIENCE!

Musher guided private experience pass 60 minutes (with ride). This season (2024-25), we have consistently had frozen ground and limited snow. When we can offer sled rides, the dog team will be running very quickly and your actual ride time* may shorten because of the speed of the dogs. We will try to stay inside of the expected time frames! During winters when we have muddier or packier snow conditions, our dogs naturally run slower as they are working harder during the same mileage. As always, we appreciate your patience as our husky- friends are doing their absolute best. *Mileage does not shorten.
$250 per hour – any size party, up to four rides
$200 per hour before December 25th

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 have a traditional outhouse available for guests. There is also a Stewarts Shop about 1 mile from us as an alternative.

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 time of ride. Very warm or icy conditions may make it unsafe to ride the trail.
