Dog Sledding!

Looking for an outdoor winter adventure? Grab some friends or your partner, wrap yourself up in a warm blanket, hop in a sled and away you go in the gorgeous, relaxing Maine woods to enjoy dog sledding. I can’t think of more for an afternoon, you can have a campfire, drinks, and snacks!

Cheers,

Julie
