Every winter in Maine we sit down and plan out our weekends. While the winter can feel long, but when you have a whole list of activities it sure does fly! Like most Mainers, we’ve got things like snowshoeing and skiing, but this year we wanted to think of something new. That’s when we found THIS experience! If you love the outdoors and want to do something that your friends probably haven’t, check out this adventure and go dogsledding in Maine!

The North Woods of Maine can be considered Vacationland's last frontier.

These tours meet at the kennel on the outskirts of Millinocket. At the beginning, your group will have a chance to meet the huskies, take photos of the area, and ask questions.

Afterwards, they harness up a team and mush 15 miles into the forest and lake wilderness just south of Baxter Park. During this part of the day, there are incredible views of with Mt Katahdin rising in the background! About halfway through the day the group will stop to build an open fire, eat and feed the dogs. And, everyone (even the kids!) can have a turn on the runners driving the sled!
The two-day trip is a totally hands-on experience allowing visitors to drive their own sled and camp overnight.
