Description
Embark on a unique winter journey with the Kicksled Adventure at Dakota Dunes Resort, located on the traditional Whitecap Dakota Territory. This exhilarating activity offers a delightful blend of fun, fitness, and the stunning winter scenery of Saskatchewan.
What is Kicksledding?
Kicksledding is an engaging winter sport that merges the simplicity of sledding with the stability of walking. Unlike traditional cross-country skiing, which can be challenging to master, kicksledding provides an easier, more accessible way to enjoy snowy landscapes. A kicksled resembles a small, low sled with a pair of ski-like runners and a seat, allowing participants to propel themselves forward by pushing with one foot.
The Kicksled Experience
- Introduction to Kicksledding: Upon arrival at Dakota Dunes Resort, guests are introduced to the kicksled and given a brief tutorial on how to use it effectively. This quick learning process ensures that everyone, regardless of their prior experience with winter sports, can comfortably and confidently navigate the snowy terrain.
- Scenic Arrow Head Trail: After mastering the basics, adventurers set off along the picturesque Arrow Head Trail. This trail winds through the resort’s breathtaking snowy landscape, featuring gently rolling natural sand dunes and expansive views of the pristine winter scenery. The kicksled adventure is designed to offer both a moderate workout and a relaxing, immersive experience in nature.
- Equipment and Comfort: Kicksleds are provided for all participants, and each sled is equipped for optimal comfort and performance on snow and ice. For those new to the activity, the kicksled’s stability offers a reassuring alternative to skiing or snowshoeing, making it an ideal choice for families and groups.
The kicksled adventure is available for two-hour sessions, providing ample time to explore the trail and enjoy the outdoors.
