Horse Drawn Winter Sleigh Rides

Winter Carnivals
Winter in Muskoka is anything but sleepy—it’s a season full of festive energy, thanks to its iconic winter carnivals! These events bring communities together for weekends of snowy excitement, cozy charm, and starry nights. Here’s what’s in store:
Gravenhurst Winter Carnival (Feb 14–17): Four days of fun with lumberjack demos, puddle jumps, polar bear dips, and live shows.
Dorset Snowball (Feb 14–15): Delight in pancake breakfasts, parades, and skating parties.
Experience the enchantment of dog sledding amid the breathtaking wilderness of Muskoka with North Ridge Ranch.
Guided by their passionate Owners and Operators, Brad & Leah Fetterley, and accompanied by our remarkable pack of over 60 Alaskan Huskies, they are thrilled to embark on an exhilarating journey with you. Discover the magic and adventure of this timeless sport as you traverse the untouched landscapes and create unforgettable memories on a dog sled tour like no other.
