Brainerd and related destinations

A talking Paul Bunyan statue greets visitors with surprising familiarity at Paul Bunyan Land, where childhood nostalgia meets quirky roadside attraction. The Mississippi River flows casually through town, seemingly unaware of its celebrity status. Locals proudly mention their "400-plus lakes" like someone discussing a prized collection. At Brainerd International Raceway, engines roar while spectators debate horsepower over cheese curds. North Central Speedway offers dirt-track racing where mud spatters become souvenirs. Paddle Gull Lake past waterfront cabins that have witnessed generations of family vacations. This Old Farm provides a glimpse of rural life without actual farming. Water parks offer respite when temperatures reach what locals call "pretty warm."

8/10 Good
"They are remodeling- the bar and dining area are awesome - the burger is VERY good. The rooms are meh. The front desk didn’t give great information - did not notify us when our room was ready (didn’t have/ask for our phone number). Didn’t inform us there was not daily cleaning. We loved the marina and was great for our boat."
