There are a few hills known for sledding—ones that the locals have been sliding down for decades. ❄ Brainerd High School has a big hill on the north side of the building. Trinity Lutheran Church has an impressive hill too and is a crowd favorite; this is located on South 6th Street. A bit of a hidden gem is "Big Sev," located at Hitch Wayne Park tucked in between South 6th and 7th Streets. But the newest addition to sledding hills in the Brainerd Baxter Area is located at the .mn. It is open all day AND lit at night until 10pm. All locations are perfect for the whole family to catch some air and enjoy the winter weather! Get outside, Minnesota! 🛷❄
