There’s nothing more Midwest than lacing up your skates, braving the cold, and gliding under the winter sky. Both the cities of Baxter and Brainerd operate and maintain outdoor ice rinks that are free and open to the public. These locations are staffed during certain days of the week but when the warming houses aren’t open you may skate but at your own risk. Check out our blog for hours, locations, and where to snag free rentals.
