BRAINERD

Adventure awaits in Minnesota's Playground. Whether you're interested in biking, family fun, fishing, food, golfing, hiking, or shopping—experience it all from a centralized location in Brainerd MN. Situated on the Mississippi River nestled among the pines, there is so much to experience and love. The communities of Brainerd and Baxter are the heart of the Brainerd Lakes Area and are a short drive from hundreds of lakes, holes of golf, and miles of biking trails.

And in the winter you can enjoy the peacefulness of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing through the woods and hit the miles of snowmobile trails. Take your family to Mount Ski Gull for a day of snowtubing, skiing, or snowboarding. Even when the lakes freeze, the fishing doesn’t stop. You can participate in the Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza—where over 10,000 anglers compete to win $150,000 in prizes.
