Michigan Dog Sledding

The playful excitement. The focused determination. The hot breaths of a pack of huskies fogging up the crisp winter air as they gleefully pull us across the glistening landscape. This is dog sledding in Michigan. Go on a dog sled ride around many of our 11,000 frozen inland lakes. Spend a weekend on a dog sledding trip throughout Michigan's brilliant, snow-covered National forests. Experience dog sledding along the shimmering white hillsides. Leave it to man's best friends to deliver a wintertime adventure we'll cheerfully remember. So let's bundle up and holler “mush!” Because the rush of dog sledding is Pure Michigan.
