About Us
Winterdance Dogsled Tours is in it’s 15th year of operation. Located
near the southwest corner of Algonquin Park we have 150 Purebred
Siberian Huskies and run same day tours on over 2000 acres of private
rugged untouched wilderness bordering the park. Our kennel & business
were started with
the goals of providing an opportunity for the public
to experience this amazing sport and to appreciate the beauty and
importance of undeveloped pristine wilderness. Our other goal was to
develop a long distance dogsled race team comprised of Purebred
Siberian Huskies. Our race team ran Iditarod 2010 & 2012 and the Yukon
Quest in 2011 & 2014 becoming the first Canadian Dogsled Touring
Company to finish both races. We pride ourselves on the high standard
of care that our dogs receive and expect the same care & respect
offered the dogs by our staff.
