Winterdance Dogsled Tours is a dogsledding and husky-experience operator based at Eagle Lake, Ontario. The company offers five distinct experiences that highlight trained Siberian Huskies and guided trail adventures in the Haliburton area. Tours include the Husky Hike — Legends & Rising Stars, a summer hike alongside dogs ranging from Iditarod veterans to young puppies; a Two Hour Tour featuring a 60–75 minute dogsled run led by an expert guide; a popular Half Day Tour that explores Haliburton landscapes with a scenic break offering snacks and hot chocolate; a seasonal Halloween Haunt designed for ages 5 and up with guided outdoor exploration; and a Full Day Tour that delivers a 6.5‑hour wilderness itinerary with lessons, trail time, and campfire‑cooked meals.
Guides work with teams of Siberian Huskies to deliver safe, educational, and memorable outings for families, couples, and solo adventurers. Activities emphasize connection with the dogs, basic mushing skills, and appreciation of natural scenery. Safety and comfort are part of the experience, with guides leading every dogsled run and offering on‑trail instruction and supervision. The Half Day and Full Day options include on‑trail refreshments, while the Full Day features meals prepared over a campfire.
