Summer will soon be gone. Nights will get colder and the dogs will be excited to run. Here at Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC, we are wild about Fall. It's our favorite season. Fall will soon be upon us as the dogs and mushers will start their fifthteenth season of dogsledding at Maryland Sled Dog Adventures LLC.

Dog Sledding comes to Maryland! No snow necessary.

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.
