Come North… Your Dog Sled Is Waiting!

White Wilderness is located in the heart of the Superior National Forest in Minnesota. We are remote, so there is not another residence or business within miles of us. This makes White Wilderness the perfect place to experience dog sledding in Northern Minnesota and truly get away from it all. Our location provides easy access to the forest for our trips and also allows us to follow a solid training regimen for the dogs prior to your arrival. Here is where the White Wilderness experience is extra special: we train and work with our dogs — a lot. We want our dogs to know and love their job. It is important for our guides and dogs to have good relationships with each other. This makes mushing more enjoyable for you and the dogs. Let our dogs show you their backyard and what they can do! With trips more varied and more unique than you will find anywhere else, explore our site to choose an adventure level which suits you. We have a lodge, yurt, or day trips available. Our guides are friendly and knowledgeable and our equipment is built with you in mind.

Here is how you get started

First, decide which trip is the best match for you. Many trip types and dates are available, for individuals, couples, families, and private groups. All of our trips are customizable as far as itinerary and dates. For multi-day trips, think about what type of accommodation you want. While the first and last night of every trip is in a lodge or cabin, the nights in between can be spent at the lodge, at our comfortable yurt camp, or rough it on the trail in a tent.

We had a wonderful experience with White Wilderness Sled Dog Adventures. They offer a wide variety of trips to suit any need, the staff is attentive and was always looking out for our safety. We had a great trip with Jarod, saw some beautiful landscape and got to see these amazing dogs in action. We highly recommend it.

Our family had a blast. Highly recommend .The owners and guides knew what they are doing . They showed us all how to handle the sled and dogs. The dogs love being picked for a trip. We will be back to do it again. Maybe a longer trip next time. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Peter is very responsive and attentive to customer needs and requirements. His guides are knowledgeable, experienced and nice. I strongly recommend White Wilderness if you want to try what sled running with with dogs is.

My husband and I absolutely loved our time dog sledding with White Wilderness! My husband's family actually got into dog sledding when they first met Peter over 20 years ago. At first I was so nervous! Having sledded before, my husband was a natural but after being taught what to do, I felt totally comfortable as well. Peter and his staff are so knowledgeable and you can tell the dogs are well loved. My favorite part was definitely seeing the dogs so excited to get going and giving them treats after our day. I would recommend White Wilderness to everyone interested in trying something new!

It was AWESOME!!! I didn't stop smiling the whole trip. I love dogs and now I'm in love with dog sledding. Our guide was great, very experienced, easy going, easy to talk to and answered all our questions. My 77 year old mom rode in the guide's sled and mom said she had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our guide's company and the beautiful scenery. The dogs were fantastic, super friendly; they just want attention and to run run run. We got to help harness the dogs and give them treats. The scenery was breath-taking; beautiful country. I want to come back!

We had great time on our three-quarter day trip. Our guide, Shawn, was excellent as well as the dogs. If you even slightly love adventure and being out in the calmness of nature, I would highly recommend White Wilderness Sled Dog Adventure. It will be an experience you will not forget.

My wife Jenn and I had an absolute blast two weekends ago with the White Wilderness crew and dogs! We spent a day out with guide Greg and the experience was relaxing, fun, and challenging! We got to run some trickier trails and were supported to learn more about how to best handle the sled and dogs themselves. Plus we got a tasty braut lunch with Zup’s spicy mustard - what else do you need!!
