Winter Sports & Dog Sledding at Positive Energy Outdoors

Bring a group to dog sled on a 1/2 mile beginner loop! This is the perfect option for churches, scout groups, groups of friends and family, sports teams or other groups interested in a winter dog sled experience. PEO’s most popular experience combines dog sledding with a horse drawn sleigh ride. When you arrive at the kennel, we’ll start with a clothing check to make sure everyone stays warm during the program. After a large group welcome and sled dog safety talk, you’ll take a tour of the kennel, where you’ll meet many of our 55 friendly Alaskan husky sled dogs, learn about mushing equipment, including how to ride in the sled as a passenger and how to drive the sled, help harness and hook up your dog team(s) and hit the trail. Our sleds carry 1-2 people per sled and you'll always have an experienced PEO guide with you on the sled. Your group will take turns riding and driving on a 1/2 mile groomed loop, perfect for taking photos and getting lots of time to pet and interact with the dogs. Our double driver sleds allow everyone to drive, or passengers can also relax and enjoy the ride from the sled basket.

Looking for a longer tour with lake travel? Book the 2 hour Bog Tour (5-8 miles of mushing) or 3 hour Island Lake Tour (12+ miles of mushing) for a group of up to 6 at a time (larger groups up to 12 people can also participate in our longer Bog or Island Lake Tours). Please call for more information. Group dog sledding stays on a beginner loop near the sled dog kennel, and group members take turns riding and driving.
