Brainerd Lakes might be the most quintessential of Minnesota’s summer vacation experiences. Whether you’re playing golf, paddleboarding, dining or just relaxing at your lakeside cabin, everything is geared toward being outdoors, near or on the lakes.
“Because we’re the land of 10,000 lakes, people do all of the winter sports, but in the summertime, it’s golf, boating and fishing,” said Ashlee Ciora, owner of Women’s Golf & Travel, a Minneapolis-based company that specializes in golf trips for women. “I think Minnesota has so much to offer.”
