Visitor Guide

Explore Brainerd Lakes like a local.

The area's largest tourism publication

Welcome to the Brainerd Lakes Area! Plan your vacation with the area’s biggest tourism publication featuring the communities of Brainerd/Baxter, Crosslake, Cuyuna Lakes, Pequot Lakes, and Nisswa. We have hotels with waterparks, resorts with full amenities, or rustic cabins. You can do as much—or as little—as you want here. World class championship golf courses are easily accessible. Soar among the trees and get a bird’s eye view of Gull Lake. Relax at a spa or in a lakeside lounge chair soaking up some relaxation. Spend the day shopping boutiques, grabbing a bite to eat, or sipping a brew on an outdoor patio listening to live music. Here, you’ll find that Up North is more than a destination; it’s a state of mind.
