Mankato, Minnesota is truly a wonderland. Tucked into the Emerald Green Valley
in Southern Minnesota, it is the hidden vacation Mecca of scores of knowing
Midwesterners. Mankato has everything thanks to a freak of nature: the Farr/Sclare
Fissure. This fissure in the earth's crust takes water seeping through the earth,
heats it to well over 165 degrees, and sends it back up to the surface in steam
pits and boil holes. The heat from these pits and holes heats the valley air to
such an extent that the winter temperature in many Mankato neighborhoods
has never dropped below a balmy 70 degrees!!!! Come enjoy our winters!
