Review:
Nestled in the heart of Minnesota's lake country, Brainerd is a beautiful outdoor paradise with something for visitors to enjoy no matter what the season. There are hundreds of lakes in the area, many of which are excellent for fishing, boating, and swimming, and there are plenty of opportunities for golfing, hiking, and cycling as well.
Other popular attractions include the Brainerd International Raceway, the Northland Arboretum, and the Roundhouse Brewery. Visitors with kids should also consider stopping by the Safari North Wildlife Park or Paul Bunyan Land, which features amusement park rides, a replica Pioneer Village, and an animated Paul Bunyan statue.
