These tours provide wonderful winter memories for young and old alike, and the starting point is only a five minute drive from Kashaga Lodge. Sleighrides can be arranged for couples, or for groups of up to about 15. Dress warmly and don't forget your cameras and an apple or two for the horses !!

Haliburton is also one of the few destinations in Ontario where visitors not only have all of the above recreational activities at their doorstep, but also Ontario's newest and most unique winter experience. Dogsled tours along silent trails in a remote part of Haliburton County just a 15 minute drive from Kashaga Lodge can be arranged through the lodge. Yes, after being introduced to your team of purebred Siberian huskies, and participating in a brief course in "mushing," you drive your own team. Tours are available lasting for one hour, half-day, full-day, moonlight, and even overnight. Be sure to book your adventure in advance.
