The resort offers guided hikes through the Poconos, axe throwing, kayaking, skiing, a brewery, and the Arctic Paws Dog Sled Tours that provide visitors with the unique opportunity to go dog sledding.

Dog sledding is actually more of a workout than it is a relaxing ride. According to Arctic Paws, dog sledding can be compared to mountain bike riding.

Arctic Paws is offered for a "snow" or a "no snow" tour. Before your adventure begins, you'll receive specific instructions on how to navigate the sled and instructors will be present for your entire tour.
