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.

Full day double date done well yesterday! If you're on the fence, wondering if it's worth the expense, curious if you'll stay warm enough, etc etc just do it! WW is the best option around too. This experience may honestly shift the trajectory of your life like it has for us...not kidding. We seek to embrace, not endure winter. Dog sledding is now a staple winter activity for us which also helped inspire xc skiing/skijoring in our lives. Embrace winter and go with White Wilderness! Your friends will soon follow your lead.

Peter and Jeremy were great help preparing my Husband and I for your Dog Sledding trip. They made sure we would be warm and taught us how to harness the dogs which I was nervous about at first. Once I did my first dog and got a little confidence, it was fun to take part in and the dogs were so wonderful and easy to work with !! Jeremy was a great guide checking on us often and an adjusting our dog team when needed. I would recommend White Wilderness to anyone!

Peter and his team at White Wilderness Adventures are TOP NOTCH. Went on an overnight Yurt trip with them this weekend with my 13 year old and 10 year old. Despite the bitterly cold temperatures, our trip leaders Heather and Paige kept us safe, warm and having fun for two days straight. It's clear that they treat their dogs with love, kindness and respect. Dog sledding in Ely, MN is a magical experience and I can't recommend White Wilderness Adventures highly enough. Thank you!!!

Wonderful time, beautiful area. Went with my teenager in March and we both loved the experience! We were able to interact with the dogs and puppies! Daughters guide got her out of her shell, she had been nervous due to physical limitations but Khasha was amazing with her and helped her drive! Jerry was very knowledgeable about dogs, sledding,and got me to drive ( I had been hesitant) glad I did! Definitely recommend especially parent child one on one! Don't forget sunglasses and dog treats!

My Family of 7 went on a half day trip. We had a blast going out with our guides! We were taught how to harness the dogs and everything we needed to know about dog sledding. Needless to say, we recommend white wilderness sled dog adventures for your trip up north. Their prices are most affordable compared to other dog sledding companies in this area.

Magical experience on a 4 day two night yurt trip with 18 awesome Alaskan huskies! It was incredible and inspiring to watch the dog teams in action. The huskies were so excited to pull the sleds they were leaping in the air to go. At the yurt we got to feed all the dogs hearty meat and got lots of cuddles. We feel in love with all of them! Our guides were amazing too, cooking great food and taking us on beautiful trails. Truly a trip we will never forget! We have fallen in love with dog sledding! The dogs’ temperament and love for their sport are a testament to the care and love they receive at White Wilderness!!
