Minnesota River, Land of Memories Park State Wate*

Land of Memories Park in Mankato offers public boat access to the Minnesota River at the confluence with the Blue Earth River. The park features a dedicated boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. This is a popular access point for anglers and paddlers, with easy shoreline access available for both launching and fishing. The ramp is required to remain open to the public at all times.

The site is part of a larger recreational park with amenities including hiking trails along both rivers, bike trails, a campground, and disc golf. The merging of the Minnesota and Blue Earth Rivers at this location creates good fishing opportunities for catfish, walleye, and smallmouth bass. Paddlers should note that this is a well-developed public park with multiple recreational uses, making it a convenient base for Minnesota River trips.
