Brainerd Lakes: A Lively Winter Playground

When winter's chill settles into Minnesota's Brainerd Lakes area, only the water comes to a standstill. This summertime destination stays hot after the weather turns cold.

Hit a fest

Even if you don't fish, check out the annual Brainerd Jaycees' Ice Fishing Extravaganza just for the spectacle of 20,000 people on a frozen lake. Visitors come from mostly from the Twin Cities, cars packed with boots and long underwear, ready to take on the cold.
