Recreation Opportunity from Maine: Sled Dog Racing

New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of athletic and other recreation opportunities.

One winter time activity in Maine is sled dog racing, of which the most widely known opportunity is arguably the Can-Am Crown International Sled Dog Races, which originate and terminate in Fort Kent. There are currently three races in this group: 250 miles, sixty miles, and thirty miles.
