Drive your own team or ride along with us on this hands-on mushing adventure. Harness, hook-up, feed, and love the dogs!
Nestled in the hills overlooking Lake Superior in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, is Wolfsong Adventures in Mushing. “The best dog sledding trails in the Lower 48″ extend right from the kennel out into the remote hilly terrain of the Bayfield Peninsula, home of the Apostle Islands Dogsled Race. With an average of 150 inches of snow, we have good conditions from Christmas through late March every year.
The trip length is based on the size of the group. Set up and break down time all takes longer with more participants. Your time actually dog sledding on the trail will remain the same no matter the number of participants. With a small group, we may be able to run a bit longer, but even with all of the hard training we do in the fall with the dogs, we can only ask them to run so long on each trip.
Each sled can either hold one adult, one adult and one child, or two children.
A = Adults | R = Adult Riders | C = Children Riders
Children are ages 12 and under. Anyone 13 and older is considered an Adult. All children are considered “Riders.” If your group does not fit into any of these options please call us at 7152094551.

Where We Go:
Often we travel from our kennel to other trailheads as we run in the Bayfield County Forest, and some years there is too much logging activity that block the trails that we can run from our kennel. The dogs also like variety so we often move where we run each trip. Regardless of where we are running the dogs we will meet at our kennel. Traveling to a different trailhead does not cut into total trip time as we have a very efficient “trucking” system.
Every trip includes meeting and loving up with the dogs, feeding/watering the dogs, learning how to drive a dogsled, harnessing and hooking up the dogs. Then we take off on the trail and mush for the remainder of the time. Often small groups take less time to prepare and we may get back earlier, but time mushing on the trail is always the same length.
Once returning to the trailhead, we then unhook and unharness the dogs and give them a snack and say goodbye.
