The arrival of the Easter Bunny shows that warmer temperatures are around the corner and the dog sledding season will soon be coming to a close. The 2012 - 2013 season found new additions, fun girl scout programs, training in multiple states, and even a little racing.
News and Upcoming Events
We are completely booked for the 2012 - 2013 dog sledding season. If you would like to schedule a dog sledding program for the 2013 - 2014 dog sledding season, check out our Tours page for more information on the dog sledding programs we offer and email Catherine to be placed on our wait list.
Our next Maine
Winter Cabin Adventure will be held

We will return to running our women's Maine Winter Cabin Adventure in February 2014. As a reminder, there are only four slots available for this unique dog sledding adventure and we already have a waitlist for February 2014.

So I'm sure by now you are thinking:
This is Maryland, what if there is no snow? Temperatures
permitting, even when there is no snow, we can
still go. When not running on snow, which is much
of the time here in central Maryland, we dog sled
using our three wheel and four wheel dog
sled rigs (click for picture). In mushing,
a wheeled cart used for dog sledding when there
is no snow is called a “rig” or a “gig.” Our larger
rig allows us to carry a passenger seated on dog
sledding tours and dog sled rides. The larger
rig can be seen in our dog
sledding gallery, which has pictures from
recent programs. |

sledding on snow through the scenic north Maine
woods? If so, check out our special women's only
Maine Winter Cabin
Adventure and then email Catherine
