Wilderness Sled Dog Race

The Wilderness Race is one of the few that offers a great opportunity to view the progress of a sled dog race! The trail gives spectators several viewing locations as they have the opportunity to watch the teams travel across three road crossings, trail passage within skiing distance from Little Lyford Pond Lodge and trail passage directly through West Branch Pond Camps. Its great natural setting is accessible by car, snowmobile, snowshoes or cross-country skis and continues to bring new visitors and business opportunities to the Moosehead Lake area.

The Wilderness race starts and finishes at Leisure Life Resort in Greenville Maine and traverses through the heart of Maine's 100-mile wilderness area. The 60-mile race travels on both snowmobile and non-motorized trails on Weyerhaeuser and the Appalachian Mountain Club property passing through West Branch Pond Camps at the halfway point. The 35-mile travels on snowmobile trail with a large loop affording little to no head on passing. The 4-mile is on non-motorized trail with a large loop as well.
