This enormous, creepy statue is surprisingly well hidden. We drove past it three times without even noticing it. Which seems crazy once we finally had it pointed out to us. The statue is hidden behind trees and the corner of a building. What is meant to be charming and campy is vaguely terrifying. If youre on the roof of the casino parking lot, you can get a good view of this weird giant man with too many teeth. There is no Babe the Blue Ox to accompany Paul. Find raising efforts have stalled, over the years, we were told by a local guide. So what youre left with is this big butch lumberjack which I assume the homosexual Bangor residents worship as a homoerotic icon. All Bangor gay pride parades should start or end here.

Everybody knows that Paul Bunyan was a real Maine myth and all of the other false claims are false. What isnt commonly known is that Babe the Blue Ox was really turquoise.

Quirky statue! Should have a convenient parking area for geeks like us who want to take a quick picture, though!

Ben Bates

although it appears that multiple states claim to be home to Paul Bunyan, the statue was super cool

I thought it was kind of a cool quirky landmark, it kind of fits Bangor.

In the great tradition of Bunyan statues--an impressive example.
