What is the Sakatah Scramble?

The Sakatah Scramble is an open-invite biking experience where you decide the route and distance! Starting from Mankato, the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail follows 39 miles of a beautifully paved multi-use trail developed along an abandoned railroad grade. Much of the trail is shaded by trees, making for a scenic and comfortable ride through seven charming communities.


Whether you're looking for a short ride through Mankato or a full-day adventure, the Scramble is all about flexibility—choose your direction, pace, and how far you go!
