Mushing Experiences
Our dog sledding experience combines beautiful Schoharie County winter scenery, cultural heritage with our Red Lantern Heritage Center, and hands-on adventuring. Mush through our hard wood forests and reclaimed farmland. If you are lucky, you will see a bald eagle soaring above us! We invite families, children, and adventure seekers to experience a rewarding connection with our sled dogs and memories you won’t forget!
See our dogs with CBS6’s Julia Dunn in our 2020 season!
