Gull Lake Corp of Engineer Park (Brainerd, MN) July 28 - August 2, 2014

We decided to spend a week relaxing in Minnesota this year for our summer vacation. We headed up to the Gull Lake Corp of Engineer park. The sites are large and very long and the park is quiet yet close to everything.

The town of Nisswa is a cute little tourist area with shops, restaurants and one of the bike trail stops for the Paul Bunyan trail.

There is a ton of golf around if you are into that. We golfed Madden's which has 4 courses and they are all very nice.

The Gull Lake COE provides rakes and shovels - this is really nice in the fall when there are alot of leaves around.
