Discover Mankato RV rentals for memorable road trips

Mankato is a city in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, that was established by settlers moving west in 1852. It is also the county seat of Blue Earth County. Mankato is situated at the meeting of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers; early settlers were directed to the area because of its beauty, its suitability for building structures and greeting river traffic, and because it was less prone to flooding than other areas. The area around Mankato has been a frequent setting in popular culture, appearing as a trading town in the TV series Little House on the Prairie. It also served as the heroine's hometown in the 1920 novel Main Street by Sinclair Lewis and as the basis or inspiration for the fictitious Deep Valley in the children's literature series Betsy-Tacy by author Maud Hart Lovelace.

The Great Outdoors

Minneopa State Park was established in 1905 by the state government to protect the increasingly popular park while simultaneously allowing public access. The name “Minneopa” means “water falling twice” in the Dakota language, a reference to Minneopa Creek's waterfalls. The park is home to a wide variety of bird and mammal species; guests in the park near sunset may have the opportunity to hear the coyotes howling in the distance. The park is hilly and wooded to the south and consists of prairie intermixed with marshes, lakes, and streams in the north. There are trails for hiking and biking in the summer, snowshoeing in the winter, and picnic areas, among other things.
