ACTIVITIES
Snowmobiling
Cross Country Skiing
A 1,200 mile network of snowmobile trails radiate in
every direc�on from Brainerd, making the Brainerd
Lakes Area one of the upper Midwest’s premier
snowmobiling des�na�ons. Ride the Paul Bunyan
Trail, or venture off one of the other groomed trails.
The famous Gull Lake Lighted Trail will guide you on
your night excursions. A segment of the new Buffalo
Hills Trail is also open to snowmobiles.
The Brainerd Lakes
Area offers a scenic
240 miles of groomed
and
non-groomed
cross-country ski trails.
Thousands of skiers
enjoy these trails every
winter. There are even
lighted trails for night
skiing, which means
you won’t need to quit
just when your skis get
warmed up.
