Serving as one of the gateway communities to the Brainerd Lakes Area, Brainerd holds historic significance in the region with a revitalized downtown as well as the regional beacon, the historic water tower. If you like exploring the picturesque beauty of the Lakes Area, you have to plan a day exploring the 500-acre Northland Arboretum which serves as the trailhead to the Paul Bunyan State Trail. The trail travels more than 75 miles from Baxter to Bemidji with stunning views of the crystal clear water. You can hike, bike, walk or (depending on the season) ski through the Arboretum, creating your own adventure as you go. Although the outdoor beauty is what draws many travelers to this area, you can also participate in a number of cultural events and festivals held annually. The galleries of more than 30 artists can also be found in the Franklin Arts Center, a renovated, former junior high school. Other well-known area attractions include the Brainerd International Raceway and Paul Bunyan Land, a Midwest-themed amusement park that will make your family vacation memorable.
