ABOUT THIS REGION  DOGSLEDDING

Dogsledding New Year's trip into Algonquin Park

Journey into the new year with the help of your guides and dog team on this exciting dogsledding adventure. What a way to ring in the New Year - just you, a few friends (old and new) and about 30 howling huskies! This is an excellent way to do something different this year. After meeting the dogs, at the edge of Algonquin Park, you will be given instructions on the proper technique of controlling a team of eager sled dogs. You will help harness the dogs, hook them up the sleds, and issue a command..."Let's Go"! Off you will race as the dogs strain at their harnesses, happy to be running once again. After they settle down into their natural pace, you will steer them deep into the woods of the Algonquin area, navigating forest trails and wide open frozen lakes. On the flat parts of the trail you can relax with the wind blowing in your face, and watch the majestic forest silently glide by!

Dogsledding New Year's trip into Algonquin Park

In the evening, when we get to our Eco-Lodge deep inside the forests of the Algonquin Park area, everyone helps out with the chores. The first thing to do is look after our hard working dogs! This comprises of feeding and watering them. We also have to make sure they have suitable shelter from the cold night wind. We are then free to relax and enjoy a sumptuous meal. And don't forget to partake in our winter ritual - Polar Bear dips! Then jump into the outdoor hot tub or sauna! Afterwards, we sit around the old fashioned wood stove and exchanging travellers' tales and ghost stories! Or go for a midnight snowshoe hike. Either way, the wood stove and wood furnace ensure that we're all toasty warm at night! This trip is the real thing! You get a 6-8 dog team, with only two mushers per sled. It's just the two of you, your sled, and your Huskies! We travel about 30 km each day along the twisting trails through Algonquin forests, covering some of the most majestic landscapes in the world. This is where the "Group Of Seven" painted some of their finest works. This adventure is one you won't soon forget - New Year's Day in the forests of Algonquin Park!
