Mankato River Rumble

The ALL NEW Mankato River Ramble will embrace the best of both bicycling worlds - off-road paved trails and quiet country roads. The 12-mile Minneopa Falls Loop will visit the beautiful state park. Riders seeking a greater challenge will love the Lake Crystal Loop that visits the handsome hamlets of Rapidan, Lake Crystal and Judson.

For a city so close - just 77 scenic miles from the Twin Cities - Mankato may be Minnesota's best kept bicycling secret. Even most residents are unaware of the latest improvements: last fall a paved trail was completed out to Minneopa State Park.

Choose a route from 12 to 54 miles. Register today! 
Don't forget your helmet - it's required!

The Mankato River Ramble benefits the Greater Mankato Bike & Walk Advocates and the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota (BikeMN). Thank you to everyone for your support of the River Ramble and BikeMN. Together we will do great things for cycling in Minnesota!
