The Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway area is a great getaway location for cycling and rollerblading enthusiasts. Most of the 54-mile byway route has smooth, wide paved shoulders marked for share-the-road travel. With gentle hills and scenic panoramas, Paul's Scenic Byway boasts many pleasant spots along the way to stop for a rest, a cool beverage and tasty snack, or a refreshing dip in the lake.
