5. Sleigh Rides
There is no better way to take in the beauty of the snow-covered north than from the comfort of a horse-pulled sleigh. Gorranson Farm in Dresden offers romantic one-horse sleigh rides that fit up to four passengers, and team-pulled rides that seat up to a dozen adults. Fifty-minute rides include warm blankets, jingling bells, and songs led by the driver.
6. Skijoring
Outdoor enthusiasts can often have a hard time finding winter activities that include their four-footed friends, but in Maine, there’s a way to keep everyone happy. The unique sport of skijoring has added a great option for medium-sized and large dogs who love to get exercise and team up with their humans by combining dog harnesses with cross-country skiing. Thanks to its emerging popularity, many ski outfitters sell and rent skijoring equipment, and Skijor Skowhegan specializes in equipment and information for both dog and horse-pulled skiing.
