Great state forest with lots of activities. Decent hiking/biking and horse trails. Has a nice campground for a state forest with a swim beach. Many day use areas with many lakes to enjoys. Looks like fishing is good for how busy the lakes were. Has many wilderness scenic roads to drive and even a horse campground. All this and still very close to Brainerd area with tons to do in...

It used to be a gravel pit, but has been converted into a free-to-use shooting range- they have a trap area, short range (25 yard) and mid length range (100 yard). Bring your own stuff, clean up after yourselves...
