Pittsburgh’s flanked by rolling hills and gorgeous countryside. Within just an hour or two of the city, Pittsburghers can find an abundance of activities during those short, cold winter days. Sled riding, ice fishing, ice skating, and snowshoeing are among the many popular winter activities in the area. But, for a truly unique winter activity, consider going dog sledding.
Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, less than an hour and a half from Pittsburgh, offers an assortment of winter activities from skiing to snowboarding.

That’s right. You just might feel as though you’re on a ride at Kennywood as the dogs lead you into quick turns and around the resort at 20 miles an hour.

Should you arrive at the resort to find a lack of snowfall, don’t worry. You’ll still experience dog sledding - just from the comfort of an ATV instead of a traditional sled.
