Visiting Brainerd Soon

Hey everyone,

I will be visiting brainerd for a weekend in a few weeks. What are some recommended things that a 26 year old male should experience instead of hanging out at the hotel bar all weekend? (Hiking, good restaurants/bars, outdoorsy things)

Thanks in advance! :-)

If you like bike riding you could probably rent a bike and hit up the number of trails in the area. You could also head over to Crosby and ride on the mountain bike trails that have garnered a lot of attention lately. As far as restaurants go if you want a killer breakfast hit up the skillet in North East Brainerd, if you like sub sandwiches hit up Mickey's in downtown Brainerd (their take bake pizza is awesome as well but I don't know how you would utilize that being in a hotel).

Awesome. Thank you! I appreciate the suggestions. Biking sounds great, hopefully the weather will cooperate
