On Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at approximately 3:00 PM, the Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from 20031 Hawkeye Lane, which is located approximately 4 miles south of Mankato near County Road 33 and the Blue Earth River. The caller reported that her husband, an 81-year-old male, fell down a steep cliff to the riverbank while trimming trees.

The Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Southbend Fire Department, were dispatched. The Sheriff’s Office deployed two boats on the river to reach the victim who was near the river on the river bank. The Mankato Fire Department was requested for mutual aid for their technical rescue team due to the terrain and steep cliffs.

The Deputies reached the victim by boat and he was complaining of minor injuries including bumps and scraps from sliding down the hill. He was transported by the Sheriff’s Office Deputies by boat to a Mayo Clinic Ambulance where he was treated for minor injuries and released.

The Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Southbend Fire Department, Mankato Fire Department, Minnesota State Patrol, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
