Our deluxe lodge trip. Whispering Pines is a private custom log crafted getaway, tucked in a grove of towering pines, with grand views of the night sky and a secluded shoreline as the backdrop. This exclusive trip features the unique opportunity to drive your own dog team from our kennel, through a fabulous trail system to the front door of this charming lodge on the first day of the trip.

3 days dog sledding, 4 nights in a secluded lodge Premiere style (you drive your own team for the entire trip) select dining and lodging, private bathrooms, sauna Dogsled to the doorstep of your lodge! Explore over 70 miles of the Superior National Forest by dog team Culminating Night Run under the winter sky Physically active and adventurous trip No previous dog sledding experience needed Perfect for individuals or couples

From our relaxing base, explore an endless network of forested trails by dogteam the following two days. Your guide will teach you all the skills needed to drive a dog team. Each day offers up new routes, with the trails progressing as you gain skills and confidence driving your team of dogs (premier style). We'll cover between 20-30 miles each day, exploring scenic lakes, forest trails and witnessing the tracks of the locals, including snowshoe hare, fox, mink and timber wolves. Enjoy the comforts of this northwoods retreat at the end of each day – pampered by savory meals that complement an active day on the trail. Unwind with a sauna after dinner, curl up with a book by the woodstove or take a moonlit stroll on the lake. With the dogs camped at the lodge, you’ll have the added opportunity to spend additional time getting to know our friendly alaskan huskies --helping feed, care and give them extra affection and belly rubs.

After two full days on the trail, enjoy a leisurely third morning followed by a delicious brunch. This day culminates with a night run. We'll depart from the lodge early afternoon and run until dusk. Stop for supper cooked over a crackling campfire, and continue mushing on into the darkness of the night. The night run is always a favorite. Running at night is as close to flying as you will get without leaving the ground. Back at the lodge we will have dessert and enjoy the stories from the night. Depart after breakfast the next morning.

No experience necessary.

Join one of the scheduled trips, or gather a group of 3-6 together and we can customize this trip for your group, with either premier or traditional style sledding.

(Transportation note: You may leave your wheels parked for all three days as we tour the area by dog team - or arrange a shuttle from Duluth to the lodge and forgo renting a car.)
