Mankato MN is a wonderful place to live. There is so much to do in Mankato. Anyone who lives here will always find something to do. Whether it's history, bike trails, fishing, boating, great shopping or catching a movie to name a few. Mankato has every kind of restaurant you could imagine and fun and exciting events going on year round. Right now I am enjoying my summer motorcycling in and around the Mankato area....the scenery is breath taking. There are many lakes around the area which makes it even better. I grew up in Mankato and love it here!
