Dog sledding is quickly becoming a popular snow sport

Dog sledding is quickly becoming a popular snow sport, and not just among mushers with their own teams of sled dogs. About two dozen dog sled outfitters and adventure trip organizations offer the experience of dog sledding to travelers. Most of these treks are in northeastern Minnesota. They can range from a ride in the sled to a learn-to-mush adventure, depending on how much hands-on activity you want.

Others want a more active experience. Ely is a center of dog sledding, with several outfitters that offers lots of interaction with the dogs, feeding, handling, and learning to mush a team. Trips can be arranged for a few hours to several days. Some overnight trips include stays at cozy lodges, and others include winter camping. Dog sled outfitters in Duluth and Two Harbors offer rides as short as an hour, but usually half or full day rides, as well as overnight camping trips.
