Fall colors means it is time to begin dog sledding

The temperatures are beginning to drop, signaling that Fall is here. For the sled dogs, Fall is the time for training and to begin meeting guests again!

Dog Sledding comes to Maryland! No snow necessary.

Welcome to Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC! Come experience dog sledding (aka mushing) and sled dogs with Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC in the scenic hills of Baltimore County, Maryland. For more information on our dog sledding programs, visit our Tours page. For more information about the mushers, visit our About Us page. For details on reservations, please visit our Reservations page.

We are a small micro mushing kennel of Siberian Huskies. Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC is Maryland's only dog sled touring operation. Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC is fully insured and is a Nature Tourism provider with the State of Maryland.

Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC specializes in dog sled rides and patch programs in dog sledding for Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, and is an approved high adventure vendor and program partner with several local Girl Scout and Boy Scout councils, including Girl Scouts Nation's Capital. Our Program Partner listing with Girl Scouts of the Nation's Capital can be found here.

Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC also does special events involving dog sledding including delivering Santa Claus, childrens' birthday parties and classroom visits to schools. Our classroom programs on dog sledding are particularly appropriate for classes reading books by Robert Blake including Akiak and Togo, Gary Paulson's Dog Team, Jack London's classic Call of the Wild, and classes studying Iditarod. We've even visited local libraries with our sled dogs. Visit our tours page for more information on all of our dog sledding events and programs. For recent photos, visit our Facebook page.

So I'm sure by now you are thinking: This is Maryland, what if there is no snow? Temperatures permitting, even when there is no snow, we can still go. When not running on snow, which is much of the time here in Maryland, we dog sled using our three wheel and four wheel dog sled rigs (click for picture). In mushing, a wheeled cart used for dog sledding when there is no snow is called a “rig” or a “gig.” Our larger rig allows us to carry a passenger seated on dog sledding tours and dog sled rides.

Do you have an adventurous spirit? Do you love dogs? Do you want to spend four days dog sledding on snow through the scenic Maine woods? If so, check out our special women's Maine Winter Cabin Adventure and then email Catherine for more information and to register.
