Join Carl and Kirsten at Winterlake Lodge during the winter for their 4-day dog mushing school program. Winterlake Lodge offers sled dog tours and instructions on driving your own dog team. We also cross-country ski, snowshoe the backcountry surrounding the lodge, and take exploratory trips down the Iditarod Trail.
Our comfortable log cabins and cozy main lodge offer the perfect setting for a romantic weekend. All our typical lodge amenities, such as cooking classes, massage, and yoga, are available over the winter, and the hot-tub on the deck is a favorite spot to watch the northern lights.
Winterlake is home to 25 Alaskan huskies, each with their own personalities, characteristics, flaws and talents. We invite you to come and meet each one of our dogs and learn how to drive your own team!
At Winterlake Lodge, our lodge-based dog excursions can be as vigorous or easy as you like. We have a simple trail around the lake for beginners and offer a progression of trails for the more adventurous.
When you visit Winterlake Lodge, you will receive our Winterlake Lodge dog mushing instruction manual with background information on dog mushing, explanations to techniques you will use during your stay with us, and other information to make your dog mushing experience a success.
