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 have dreamed of going dog sledding for a while, but this experience far exceeded our expectations! Paige, our guide was extremely knowledgeable. He taught us everything we needed to know to drive our own sleds. Between the instruction on driving, the experience of the dogs and driving your own sleds they made sure that everyone was safe and taken care of including the dogs. It was -40 with a -60 windchill when we went and we were nervous about being freezing the whole time, but he made sure we were dressed appropriately, made sure every item of clothing would hold up with the cold. I can honestly say we stayed warm the entire time! The dogs love what they do and are well taken care of by Peter and his staff. Having brats on an open fire in the wilderness while the dogs enjoyed a lunch time snack in -40 and somehow staying warm was an absolutely incredible experience. Top to bottom they do a terrific job providing a top tier experience. Would highly recommend White Wilderness, we will be back.

Loved our all day dod sledding with White Wilderness . Our guide Taylor was very patient and kind to a couple of 66 year old ladies. I'm sure we were a challenge, but he made it fun ! The dogs were incredible and the fresh fallen snow made it a winter wonderland. Check off my bucket list...

This was one of the best trips I've ever taken. Seeing dog sledding on television doesn't compare to the actual experience of being behind a team of dogs. With good instructions from Peter's guides we spent three days on the trails putting in about 80 miles altogether. The experience of being part of the team and getting to know the dogs is something I will always remember. It was truly a trip of a lifetime that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Our family of five had a wonderful time handling the dogs and driving the sleds and being spoiled! We were fed well too! The yurt was comfy and warm! The guides and all the staff were absolutely wonderful. Enjoy the silence!

What a joy filled experience! Peter and his team prepared us for “mushing” and we were off; cruising through the north woods with only the sound of the sleigh runners and the dogs feet hitting the snow. As with many journeys into nature, the thoughts and cares of everyday life were left, replaced by the exhilaration of bright blue skies and dazzling white snow. Peter is attentive and we enjoyed his stories of the many years of his business, and talking about our mutual love of the wild. Wear the right clothes, studded boots, and be ready for a workout. You will end the day happy and tired, but renewed.

great experience! Loved out guide Kaisha (sorry for misspelling). We had a full day trip, lots of snow, beautiful forests around, great lunch. Dogs were well-behaved and friendly.
