This One Of A Kind Maine Dog Sledding Experience Is A Fun Way To Enjoy Winter

Winter is a mixed bag up here in the North! There's certainly cold and snow, but that also means plenty of opportunities to enjoy cozy corners and hot beverages. It also means tons of outdoor activities that can only be enjoyed with a fresh coating of snow. It might seem like an unexpected idea, but dog sledding in Maine is one of the activities we're most excited about this season! Things kick up when the snow starts to fall so it's a great idea to start planning your visit now.

The western mountain region of Maine is beautiful all the time, but in the winter it's extraordinary.

And the Ultimate Dog Sledding Experience based in Oxford makes things extra-special around here.

The experience offers the chance to zip through the forest led by a team of dogs who have been raised to race.

A mix of Alaskan Huskies and German Shorthaired Pointer, the dogs are raised in a loving kennel putting their needs first. And they love meeting new people!

There are quite a few different options to choose from once the weather gets snowy enough for consistent rides.

Choose from a one-hour tour, a two-hour tour, a three-hour full mountain tour. They even offer a two-day full dog-sledding training course.

The experience shares trails with snowmobiling routes in Hebron, Bethel, and Casco. Each one is manicured and cared for to ensure a perfect, smooth ride.

This is truly a unique experience and worth planning ahead for. Book now so you're ready when significant snow begins to fall.

Ultimate Dog Sledding Experience has trails in Hebron, Bethel, and Casco. You can learn about the many packages they offer by visiting their website. You can also learn more and see lots of fun photos of the dogs by following them on Facebook. They can be reached at 207-890-4393.
