Dog Sled Tours in Michigan

View a Slideshow of
our 2011 Season

Now you can enjoy the Dog Sled Vacation Adventure of a Lifetime. Imagine the thrill of driving your own Dog Team through the gorgeous, snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan. With Tom Roig as your guide, you don't need any dog sledding experience. You'll quickly learn how to harness a Dog Team and handle the sled. You'll run the same trails that have been used for years by mushers training for the Iditarod. This is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime Winter Vacation Experience.

Two, Three and Four-Day Tours are available. Each provides a challenging, yet refreshing break from your day-to-day routine. You'll run out of Sled Dog Lodge, located 25 miles North of Newberry, Michigan — right in the heart of Snow County. You'll enjoy the quiet, pristine beauty of northern Michigan in the Winter, and bring back pictures that'll make you the envy of all your friends. And with no more than 2 people per trip, you'll get plenty of personal help and attention.
