About Baxter

Baxter is known for its beautiful countryside and tranquil atmosphere. With the Mississippi River cupping its southern fringes and such lakes as Whipple and White Sand sprinkling the countryside, Baxter is an amazing retreat for water sports enthusiasts and other outdoorsmen. Baxter is also touted as the starting point for the Paul Bunyan Trail, which is over 100 miles long and is one of the longest paved trails in the United States. Perfect for bikers, birdwatchers and even casual hikers, the trail provides plenty of natural scenery with several unobtrusive rest areas along the way. The trail's Pequot Lake area is popular with visitors who want to experience the rustic outdoors. Baxter is one of those little towns that take pride in their old-fashioned roots. With its amazing down home-style cooking, beautiful scenery and fun activities, Baxter has become a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the average vacation spot.

Did you know?

With the demise of the railroads as the chief form of transportation in the U.S., tourism replaced the railroad as the chief employer of town residents. Today, tourism and the associated service industries that support it are the largest industry for the town, notably during the busy late spring and summer months.
