Getting there
Nearest airport BRD.
How do I get to Lakes Jam?
By car
Most people drive to Lakes Jam. The nearest major airport is BRD, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
Jefferson Lines serves Brainerd as a regional hub (~5 trips/day to/from Minneapolis), stopping at West Gate Mall, 14136 Baxter Dr a taxi/rideshare leg is then needed to the raceway (address 5523 Birchdale Road). Not an airport connector; useful mainly for attendees not flying at all
Book / info →Festival shuttle
Official Lakes Jam-run shuttle loops between the venue and a named list of partner hotels in Brainerd/Baxter (The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes, Rapid River Lodge and Water Park/Comfort Suites, Super 8, Baymont Inn & Suites, AmericInn, Days Inn, Country Inn and Suites, Holiday Inn Express) Thursday 12pm-12am, Friday-Saturday 12pm-1am, every 30-45 min. This is a hotel-to-venue shuttle, not an airport connector BRD itself has no official shuttle, so fly-in attendees still need a taxi/rideshare/rental car leg from BRD to one of these partner hotels or direct to the venue
Book / info →A separate official trolley runs General Camping to the East Entrance/Concert Bowl for campground guests already checked in Wednesday 6pm-12am, Thursday-Saturday 2pm-12am
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
BRD airport ~18 min drive from the raceway. The official festival page itself warns rideshare coverage at the venue is thin: "limited Uber and Lyft services" are unreliable during the event, so fee-based private shuttle companies or a rental car are the more dependable fly-in options
Book / info →Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
On site parking available. Prepay via Lakes Jam's own ticketing/parking portal (lakesjam.com/parking) "Purchase online only" recommended for multi-day passes. Onsite parking at Brainerd International Raceway. No overnight parking permitted in the paved lot (vehicles must be in a grass lot overnight or are towed); no re-entry without repurchasing if you leave and return. Handicap parking available with official government-issued plate/placard, purchase required. No official rideshare-only zone documented
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at BRD
The festival's own transportation page flags that Uber/Lyft coverage at the venue is limited and unreliable during the event, and BRD (the nearest airport) has no official shuttle car hire is a strong option for fly-in attendees, both for the BRD-to-venue leg and for water-fill/supply runs during multi-day camping
