  • Sites - Along the Byway

    Our Byway is 54 miles long. That’s just a few steps for me, but for you, that's a lot to explore. So, c'mon along, enjoy a few of my tales and explore the lore of the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway.

  • Fire Tower - Along the Byway

    This ‘ol Fire Tower, just east of Pequot Lakes, has a few stories of its own. Legend has it that Sassy, the police chief's bear, got stuck up here once.

  • Places to stay - Along the Byway

    ‘Round about that same time was when Babe and I finished up logging in the area. We turned my camps over to folks wanting to vacation here, and they’ve been coming ever since! Can’t blame ‘em. There are all sorts of places rest and relax.

  • Places to explore - Along the Byway

    One of the best parts of my special driving route is the many places to get out and stretch your legs. If you’re up for an adventure, try the Wetlands Walk on the Veterans Trail in Island Lake Woods. Walk out to the island and see where travelers — before my time even — used the spot as a natural look-out area.... And, even a place to make moonshine.

  • More things to do - Along the Byway

    Oh, and now ‘a days, folks also enjoy golfing, boating, fishing, and biking along my Byway. Everyone who visits me is always amazed at how much there is to see and do.

Paul Bunyan

Logger, Legend. All around big guy. Hangs out with sidekick Babe. Legend says that the following are accurate statistics for the Paul Bunyan: Height standing - 35 feet.; Pants size - 150 ( extra room in seat and thighs ). Shirt size - 88 - 2XL / TALL. Paul's shirt contained 168 yards of red and black plaid, wool material and his buttons were as big as 11 inch dinner plates. Boot size - 80. The cleats on the bottom of his boots were as large as railroad spikes, 5 inches long. Each boot contained 12 cleats with each cleat weighting 3 pounds. Ring size - 388. The jeweler had quite a job when Paul and Lucette got married!
