The trail has been developed for bicycling, hiking, in-line skating, horseback riding, skiing, and snowmobiling. However, snowmobiles with studded tracks are prohibited. It begins at Lime Valley Road near Mankato and ends east of Interstate 35 at Faribault (trail users will need to use the signed route on city streets through Waterville).
The Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail provides a paved treadway. A second treadway for horseback riding is completed from Lime Valley Road to Eagle Lake. A second horseback segment travels from Sakatah Lake State Park to Morristown. Sakatah Lake State Park is along the trail and provides a separate bicycling campground, picnic grounds, boat access, and additional hiking trails. There are several other lakes and public parks within an easy ride of the trail.
