Winterdance - Ontario Sledding Adventures
Winterdance offers various packages to suit people who just want a taste of Dogsledding in Ontario to people looking for a more complete experience and even people looking for romance! Our trips book up quickly (especially on weekends) so advance reservations are highly recommended.
Two Hour Tour - Get a taste of the wonderful sport of dogsledding! We will instruct you in the basics of driving a dog team, and then introduce you to your dog team with 4 or 5 of our affectionate Siberian Huskies. Tours have 2 people per sled with clients taking turns riding and driving (if they wish). A guide is always in the lead with their dogsled team. After instructions you're off exploring our east lake trail up to picturesque Bowen Lake. You will be out on the trail with the dogs for approximately 40-45 minutes. Best enjoyed by people in at least average physical shape and on a tight time line or with younger children. Reservations are highly recommended!
Half Day Tour - By far our most popular dogsled tour with first time dogsledders and return clients alike, as you really get an opportunity to know your huskies and get a true feel for handling a dog sled! These dogsledding trips offer a variety of trail conditions, including challenging rugged, forested terrain, and a multiple lake system. Novices are welcome as you will be given complete instructions on dogsledding skills. You should be in at least average physical shape to best enjoy a 1/2 day tour. This dogsled trip includes a midway break for a snack and hot chocolate (provided) and is a great opportunity for those "Kodak moments" of the beautiful Haliburton scenery and of course your new 4-legged friends! We offer 2 of these dog sledding tours every day with the instruction sessions starting at 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. After instructions you will be on one of several 1/2 day trails for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 hours, with additional time at the end for photos & rewarding your huskies! Reservations required
Full Day Tour - The full day dogsledding tour starts around 9:00 a.m. with an instruction period of approximately 1/2 hour, allowing you a chance to help harness your own huskies and hook them up if you wish! We will then head out on the trail for the day with your team of 6 beautiful sled dogs, exploring around 30 km's of this unspoiled wilderness. Travel through Bear Valley and Beaver Valley, to get to various remote lakes, or experience the challenge of the ridge trail. We have several full day dogsled tour trails and your guide will pick the trail that best suits the group. You will stop for morning and afternoon snacks (for people and dogs) and hot chocolate.
At lunch time you will take a layover at our remote, picturesque heated lakeside Teepee, to enjoy a hot, hearty lunch, prepared by your guide over a roaring campfire (all food is provided and we guarantee you won't leave hungry). Please let us know if anyone in your group has special dietary needs. The trip will end around 4:00 p.m. allowing you time to help unhook your new best 4-legged friends and wish then a fond farewell! This is a popular tour with return clients or people in good physical shape and winter adventures! Reservations required
Moonlit Run - Dogsledding at night is truly an incredibly moving experience and one that is impossible to put into words. With a crisp, clear night, the stars and moon radiating off the snow can be so bright you may not even need your head lamp or the provided flashlights. There is also such silence, all you hear is the dogsled runners on the snow and the breath of your huskies - a truly magical experience. The trips will start around 7:30 p.m. with brief instructions. We will then hit the trail with your 4 dog team for about 30 minutes until we reach a clearing with a roaring fire. There we will spend about 20-30 minutes with appropriate refreshments being served. Those looking for some romance will have some private time to gaze at the moon and stars and if we are lucky hear the distant howl of the resident wolf pack. By the time we sled out again, the trip will end around 9:30 p.m. Enjoyed best by adults in at least average physical shape, these trips run only on select dates. Reservations required
Available Dates for 2010: January 14th, January 21st & February 11th. Hank will personally be guiding each of these tours.
Multi-Day Tour - These trips can include any combination of 1/2, full day and moonlite runs with overnight accommodation at our own winter cabin or local resorts & inns. We have over 60 km of dogsled trails, so that multi-day clients get to explore different trails with each tour (except for the first several km's which is the main trail that all other trials branch off of). For groups (minimum of 6 people) we offer an option of overnight camping in our prospector tents alongside a remote lake. The tents are heated for a cozy evening! These trips require advance reservations and prices will be determined based on the client's individual requests and desires. Please call or e-mail us for more information.
