  Man's best frenzy!  

You’ll never have a wilder ride than when you’re on a dogsled, and you’ll never have more fun in the snow. Try a two-hour ride, a half-day adventure, or a full-day trek. You can even learn to drive your own team! We promise you’ll feel like a young pup again. Call 888-922-5000 and get the skinny on our huskies.

We've got more cross-country ski and snowshoe trails than anywhere else in Minnesota, and we're not afraid to boast about it! That's what Volks Ski Fest is all about, in fact-enjoying the 400 kilometers of professionally groomed and absolutely gorgeous trails all across Cook County.

The event kicks off on Saturday, January 23, with a challenge to ski as many kilometers as you can - or, if you'd like, to simply enjoy a leisurely ski with other enthusiasts. The week's other activities include:
• Live Music
• Dogsled Rides
• Guided Snowshoe Hikes
• Horse-Drawn Sleigh Rides
• Bonfires
• Presentations and Clinics

Dog Sledding

Gee...it’s not just a ride. Get up close and personal with these canine creatures in this hands-on exploration of sled dog handling, dog sledding lore and the modern day sport of mushing. Experience a working kennel and talk the talk of the musher as you hit the trail under the tutelage of weathered mushers and happy dogs.

No two winter adventures are alike!

They’re just like snowflakes—and the more you get, the better it is. So head on up the shore, where winter means everything from a quiet cut the through the woods on your skis, to a roaring fire in your cabin. Plus all the shopping, dining and sightseeing you could hope for—all under a beautiful blanket of white. It’s winter, and there’s no better time to do north.
