ABOUT THIS REGION  DOGSLEDDING

Dogsledding in Algonquin Provincial Park

These short 3 and 4 day dogsledding adventures are the perfect introduction to dogsledding. After meeting the dogs at the edge of Algonquin Park, you will be given instructions on the proper technique of controlling your team. You will help harness the dogs, hook them to the sleds and off you go! After the dogs settle down into their natural pace you will steer them into Algonquin, navigating forest trails and wide open frozen lakes. On the flat parts of the trail you can relax and watch the forest silently slide by. In the evening you will arrive at a hunters cabin deep in the park. After feeding and watering the dogs, you will sit down to a delicious meal and relax in front of a wood stove and swap sled stories with your group. This trip is the real thing, you get a 6-8 dog team with only 2 mushers per sled.
