Brainerd: Gateway to Minnesota's Lake Country
Brainerd sits along the Mississippi River in Crow Wing County, about 125 miles north of Minneapolis. The city serves as the gateway to the Brainerd Lakes area, one of Minnesota's most popular vacation destinations. Gull Lake, Mille Lacs Lake, and hundreds of smaller lakes draw anglers, boaters, and cabin owners.
The Brainerd International Raceway, located north of the city, hosts NHRA drag racing events and draws motorsport fans from across the region. The Paul Bunyan statue on the south end of town, installed in 1950, is one of the most photographed roadside attractions in the state.
Brainerd's economy depends on tourism, healthcare through Essentia Health, and retail services for the surrounding lake communities. The city's population of about 13,400 swells significantly during summer months when seasonal residents arrive. The Burlington Northern rail yards in town reflect the city's origins as a railroad division point.
The Crow Wing State Park, south of the city at the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi Rivers, preserves the site of an old Ojibwe village and fur trading post.
