Always a beautiful trail that has great views of the river and river valley. Slopes are mostly moderate inclines/declines.

Great place to quietly walk or ride bike, Smooth path and well cared for, Around town by the YMCA it can be a little crowded but as soon as you reach city limits, it clears out fast

We've enjoyed both walking and biking on it.It's a bit hilly, which is nice in flatland.Mankato is at one end; the Rapidan Dam at the other.

We love the Red Jacket bike trail. Park in the West High School lot on the weekends and head out to Rapidan. The Dam Store has great home made pie. The ride back to Mankato in down hill much of the way.

Rode the trail from Downtown Mankato to Rapidan Dam. The first portion along the river was in pretty tough shape but once we got past the high school, the trail greatly improved. The tree lined portions of the trail was very nice and shaded. Pavement was in generally good shape and certainly smooth for riding The trail from Rapidan out to the Dam was along two low traffic county roads, each with ample shoulder space. Be sure to arrive at the Dam Store with a full appetite as the serve great homemade burgers and pie! The park below the trestle bridge is worth a quick stop for a few pics and water refill.

This is a very nice trail for hiking or biking. It follows an old railroad line. It also joins up with the Sakatah Trail and the South Trail. Many miles of scenery, river crossings, picnic areas and parking at various intervals on the trail. This trail system if full of Geocaches. I'm not sure how the Green Giant photo connects with this trail. The Green Giant is in a small town about 45 miles south of Mankato, MN off I90.

. . .you deserve a stop at the Dam Store. It's only a couple of miles to the west of the town of Rapidan and on the west side of the dam.You'll think it's a bait shop and if it's busy you may have to wait for a place to sit or take your order outdoors. But if you miss it you'll be missing one of the best pieces of pie in MN.They make a mean thick chocolate malt and a decent, old-fashioned hamburger and potato salad as well.

My husband and I walk about 3 miles a day and do various "legs" of the trail. We have seen many deer and a variety of birds and depending on which leg of the trail, many people. The part closest to Mankato's YMCA is usually busy with dog-walkers and people with strollers but the further away you get, the less crowded. It is beautiful each season and a nice place to walk and reflect on "whatever".

My son loved to go here with his Grandma who lives in Mankato. He thinks the Red Jacket Bridge is the coolest !!!
