Review of Brainerd, Minnesota

Great Living
Star Rating - 6/12/2008
I lived in Brainerd/Baxter (Gull Lake)2003-2006 (Army Assignment). It is a very beutiful place, clean, many pine trees, lakes and good hospitality of the people. Good variety of stores for shopping, Target, new Super Walmart, Harley-Davidson shop, plenty of lodging, good restaurants, International Ice Fishing contest, International Raceway, Motorcycle ralley. Fishing, Ice Fishing, Four Wheelers & snowmobiles are a big deal here. Good Schools, low crime, not too hot summers. Winter can be rough, particually February temps of -40 are very common.
I could retire there.

You've summed up what we've noticed over the 57 years we've been though there on our way north, shopped at, eat at, and visited. We are in the last of our working years and we office from home. I can only add Public Transportation services and quick access to thousands of lakes. Be ready for the cold winters and summer paradise!
