Minnesota Winter Activities


 

Dog Sled Rides

Dog sled rides are one of the most quintessential Minnesota winter activities. Experience the adventure and excitement of riding with a real Husky dog sled team yapping and barking with the anticipation of pulling you! A local “Musher” offers his skill and expertise in taking guests for short trips across the snow.  This memorable experience might be the highlight of your winter vacation. Dog Sled Rates $20/per person paid to musher. Available most Saturdays.


Warm yourself by one of our lakeside bonfire areas.

Bonfires/Roasts


Warm yourself by one of our lakeside bonfire areas. Sit, socialize and share your favorite stories while indulging on delicious s’mores and hot chocolate. Cragun’s staff will set-up and provide marshmallows for roasting on scheduled days and nights.

Ice Bowling/Cardboard Sled Derby

Bring the family for Ice Bowling a fun way to enjoy the outdoors–bowling shirts and shoes not required (bring your boots and parkas instead) and best of all — no gutter balls.  For Cragun’s Cardboard Sled Derby, teams build a cardboard sled and then race – great activity for all ages. These two Minnesota winter activities are FREE!
