Four friends spent a fabulous weekend with White Wilderness...3 days of dogsledding, and I wanted more! Heather was our amazing guide, and we experienced beautiful trails through the pines and birch, as well as wide open trails on frozen lakes. Simply breathtaking. We loved the dogs -- they just wanted to run, run, run, and we were happy to accommodate.... More

As a true animal lover, I was in awe of the dogs. Our guide Doug treated our team and his own as the leaders and experts they are. My boyfriend and I cannot wait to return. I literally didn't take my eyes off the dogs for our six hour journey. "Doggy TV" was truly amazing. I would recommend White Wilderness... More

My sister and I turned 57 (Mar 7) and 56 (Mar 18) and gave this trip to each other as our birthday present and did it on my actual birthday. We were afraid of no snow this late, but got lucky with 3-4" of new powder overnight and snow during our trip. Ladies - you've got to do this with... More

We've taken two multiple day trips with White Wilderness Dog Sled Adventures...and are planning a third. Everything about our adventures has been excellent: the sledding, our guides, the dogs, the food, the accommodations, the whole experience. Driving your own sled in the woods and on the lakes is thrilling, exciting, and beautiful. Our guides are not only truly skilled, caring... More

We had such a great time last year on the Winter Odyssey Adventure (4 days on the dog sleds, 5 nights of which 2 were at the Yurt), that we signed up for this year's North Woods Passage trip: 5 days on the dog sleds, 6 nights of which 4 are winter camping in the Boundary Waters. What a terrific... More

This is a "must do" trip and worth every penny! The staff were very friendly and really made sure we felt comfortable with the sleds and dogs prior to heading out. We were able to help harness and hook the dogs up to the sled which was a great "hands on" experience. The dogs were all loving and sweet. We... More

We've spent the last 7 winters at White Wilderness and look forward to many more. Ely is an amazing destination in the winter. The team at White Wilderness will give you the most authentic dog-sledding experience you can get and one you'll never forget! There is nothing like the peace and tranquility of sledding through the snowy woods with your... More

White Wilderness is a unique business that lets you drive your own team of sled dogs through the beautiful Superior State Forest, Boundary Waters Canoe Area, across lakes, creeks and bogs. The scenery is breathtaking, the dogs are amazing athletes with more than enough love for everyone on the trip, the food is delicious (great homemade cookies and desert) and... More
