Paul Bunyan and Babe
Bemidji, MN - Legend has it that Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes were created by Paul Bunyan’s footprints filling with water as he explored the state. Paul Bunyan and his best friend Babe the Blue Ox made their debut in Bemidji during the winter carnival in 1937 and became an instant sensation. At 18 feet fall, the burly lumberjack stands beside the shores of Lake Bemidji for a picturesque backdrop. In 1939, a 10-foot statue of Babe the Blue Ox was built to stand by his side.
