True North Woods Dog Sledding Experience
$339 per Adult
$259 per child under 12 yrs old
(must be accompanied by an adult)
3 Hour Experience
You’ll be immersed in the lifestyle of a north woods dog musher once you arrive at our off-grid homestead tucked away in the remote wilderness of Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region. This promises to be an experience of a lifetime!
The Points Unknown sled dogs are friendly and exuberant and always up for adventure and meeting new people. You’ll not only be taken by dog sled for an adventure on our bush trails deep in the woods but you’ll learn how to properly interact with the sled dogs, collar them, bring them to the ready line, harness them and hook them up to the sled before hopping in the sled for your adventure. For those dog lovers, there will be plenty of cuddle time with the sled dogs. Please note that you will not be learning to mush a sled dog team in this experience as there is not enough time to safely learn the techniques and safety aspects involved. You will be riding in the sled.
We’re located 7 miles up the Arrowhead Trail on Irish Creek Road in Hovland, which is 19 miles northeast of Grand Marais, MN, USA. Directions are here.
The dog sledding experience will be 3 hours in length, starting at 1PM each day. An added bonus is the potential to extend your experience, at no additional charge, and join us after the trail experience while we give the dogs their evening meal.
Safety
Prior to your experience, we’ll chat with you about what you can expect, and to see if you have any special needs of which we need to be aware, all done so that your time with us can be most fulfilling. Here is a list of what to wear.
For optimal trail time, we suggest no more than 4 people in each time slot. However, we can tailor the adventure to your group, so let’s chat! For the safety and enjoyment of the dogs, the musher, and you, there is a weight limit in place of 275# per sled. No more than two people per sled. (1 adult/1 child, 2 smaller adults or 1 person in each sled)
Children under 5 can meet the dogs. However, children under 5-years-old will not be allowed to ride in the sled.
