More Details

This offer gets you an approximately 1.5-hour experience with Charmingfare Farm's logging sleds (each ticket valued at $19) at 27 percent off.

Get away from the hustle and bustle...noisy traffic, city lights and those confounded electronic devices! Climb aboard and travel old logging trails into the snow-covered forest. During daylight rides you’ll pass by the grazing cattle and horses in our winter pastures. You’ll have the opportunity to see our North American wildlife exhibits which include black bear, wolves and mountain lions. And be on the lookout for native turkeys, foxes, coyotes and deer. Some of our guests have even been fortunate enough to even see a moose!

We tell folks to plan on being with us for about an hour and a half. The sleigh travels for about 40 minutes before making a stop over at a bonfire we maintain in the woods. Guests love warming up and enjoy refreshments they they have brought along by the fire. Hot dogs, the fixin’ for s’mores and liquid refreshments are all popular items to bring along. Don’t worry though. We’ll provide the sticks for roasting over the open fire!

About the Logging Sleds
In the old days, the runners on these sleighs were used to carry huge logs out of the forest. Now we have constructed a large body on top of the sleigh runners that will carry up to 16 passengers. We recently added bench seating and steps with rails up onto the sleigh to make the boarding and riding process even more comfortable for those “not as flexible” as the young kids! You’re going to love it.

Sled Runners or Wheels?
The condition of our trails determines whether or not we use sled runners or wheels. In order to operate the larger sleigh we need a 6 inch base of packed snow. If there is insufficient snow for the sleds to travel on the trails we will use a wagon.

Sleigh Ride Tip
Dress appropriate for outdoor weather. Hats, scarves, mittens, boots and a warm coat are important. Consider bringing along a blanket. We find sleeping bags work great.
