This is a quirky statue that you would think you could only find in Maine, however, Paul Bunyan is in other cities as well. The Bangor version is quite high and seemingly randomly located next to a medical building. Why? I am not sure. But it can be fun to try to find him while on Main Street.

This is an odd statue it just appears and it is so much in the middle of no where. But Paul is so big it gives me the shivers. Very manly too with his flannel shirt and full beard. However, the green jeans make me question things.

Loved seeing this place as a kid. I thought the statue moved though at some point in time. The movie IT makes it even better.

Tall dude, armed with a couple of hand tools...Joking aside, Bunyan is an iconic figure in American folklore and a must visit for trips to Bangor. Not much to do besides gaze on the visage, but its worth it to me.

This statue is out gront of the cross insurance center you can visit this statue any time just dont allow your kids let yourself to climb on the actual base thete is a sign upon the statues base that saus that exact thing

Nice statue. Not much to do but snap a photo and leave.

Really nice place to stop and snap a quick photo. There isnt really a place to park nearby so it made for a nice quick walk though extremely windy that day.

I loved it. Its huge and hilarious! Lmao! Its so obscure its amazing!

The statue was pretty cool to see. Id like to see it during the day. Dont know if theres anything else to do in the area. Definitely worth stopping by if youre in the area.

Cool. But meh...

Its good for driving past, no place to park and take pictures :/

He is a tall dude for sure....hard to figure out where to park

Quick and nice place to visit if you are in the town

Ill admit I had to see this statue after seeing It Chapter 2 and it definitely did not disappoint.

Tall.... very tall. :)Take pics from casino parking garage.... with a Stephen King tour (SK Tours) with Stu!!!

Kids were creeped out, and thats what made it even better

It is very nice. Worth seeing.

This Paul Bunyan statue is right in front of some weird contemporary building. I had to park at the hotel across the street to walk over and enjoy it, which I only sort of did.

Very quick trip to go and see this statue but love good ole American novelty ! If you’re ever in Bangor it’s worth a stop !

This was a neat experience. We are huge King fans and we did our own tour through Bangor. We liked seeing the statue because of its mention. Other than that, its just a statue. Only SK fans understand.

Cool Paul Bunyan statue, it is in good shape and the area is kept up well

Fantastic and IT was scary too.

Haha awesome statue!!!

If your around the area be sure to check it out

Apparently the teeth were built with the birds in mind. Lol

Google Stephen King sites in Bangor. This was on the list. Hes pretty tall. :)

Its appropriate for Maine.

Totally cool statue. Its Paul!!!

The famous Bangor statue.

It was in a top ten list.... next.

Right next to the casino and the Cross insurance center, in the middle of town. There is a lot to do nearby and hes a lot bigger than I expected. Its worth it to go see if youre in the area but I wouldnt travel very far to go see him. There is no parking on site so park nearby and walk a little. The garden area is well maintained and the paths are very cute!

Stephen King inspired visit

I was 8 years old when the Big Paul Bunyan statue came to Bangor

Its a really big statue...

It was a statue. Pretty impressive in size.

Great photo OP but needs a plaque

Cute statue, a bit underwhelming and cartoonish, not much else around, it delivers what it promises

I enjoyed the area very much.Seeing the big Paul Bunyan Statue made me kind of wonder to what happened to all the pulp trucks you use to see on the road. And why all the paper mills closed

Fun stop to make to see the infamous Paul Bunyan. Hes as big as they say! Paul is missing his blue ox, but we wont hold that against him. To get a picture with Paul you can briefly park across the street at the gas station or the small dirt parking lot just behind the gas station. Worth the short detour to check out the impressive statue.

Its a Bangor attraction....

Super cool

Hes massive!!!

Wonderful statue of Santa!

Its a beautiful little Park area, and if you are an avid Pokemon GO player there is a gym at this location. Always upkept and a great little place to enjoy the sounds of the city. There can be a tendency of people gathering in small and large groups at this location.

My life is complete. I have seen the statue of the great Paul Bunyan. Cute little park.

Its a great statue

This thing is monumental lol

I like the old one

Great spot for a photo in Bangor

Great place to meet guys

Easily accessible and very cool too see, especially for fans of Stephen Kings novel It as it features in part of the story. Across the road from the casino on the main road.

An excellent statue, but who is Paul Bunyan without his faithful blue of, Babe? I cannot in good conscience give this five stars until the two are united, though it is my hope that one day I am able to.

If youre interested in seeing a very large statue of Paul Bunyan, this is a very nice one.

My eyes have seen the glory of his magnificence. Blessed be those touched by his axe of righteousness. It was true love.

Just a stop by to see the infamous Paul Bunyan statue that gave me nightmares after reading IT....

Every tourist must when in Bangor!

Used to be a great party but they put up a new building. But much of the original parts from my childhood. All because they wanted a new Civic center. They at least let the statue but only just....

Kool

Being a Pennywise movie fan, this statue was a MUST.

Just like the movie IT.

If you are a lover of the book “It” and Stephen King, you need to see this statue for yourself — you will feel the fear of the Richie as he strikes his sharp axe down! And as a plus, there’s a wonderful restaurant within a minute walk — Timber Kitchen and Bar at the Marriott.

It would have been nice if there was an information board!

We had a great time in Bangor. Enjoyed this statue and taking pictures of it. Bangor made me think of Amarillo Texas. We had just eaten at a good Mexican food restaurant. We drove thru some of the neighborhoods. People would stop what they were doing to wave at us. We were a long ways from home yet felt at home.

Fun to see!!

Ok.not much to do but have a quick look

Its maine. Its amazing. Its wonderful

Nice little place

Drawing card for downtown Bangor since I was a kid.

Very cool statue located in core of Bangor, ME. My kids knew this chap so it was exciting for them to see as well.We didnt get out of our car due to time restraints, but it would have been nice to get up close and have a few pictures taken.Definitely worth the time to check this out.

This statue is right across from the casino in Bangor, Maine. Its pretty amazing to see, its huge but very detailed and life like. Very cool!

Been seeing this since I was a kid it the thing I remember most about the state of Maine

Every child who visits this beautiful statue wishes to grow up as big & strong as Paul Bunyan!!!!!

It is a very large statue but has no informative plaque and designated parking.was difficult to find.

Its smaller than it used to be & theyre missing Blu ox but happy still he here

Cool

Very cute very Maine!

Very nice down by the area

Paul Bunyan Statue you get what you see. I expected a plaque with some information of why there was a giant Paul Bunyan statue located in Bangor, Maine without having to Google it. No such luck!

Hes real

Cool statue

Cool statue lots of detail! Could use and explanation plack.

Big statue of Limber Jack

Great photo op, parking not so convenient

This one was just for fun.

People think of this when they think maine

Best Paul Bunyan statue Ive ever seen.

There is no parking around this statue! However statue is very cool.

So amazing great time with good friends wonderful art !

I read this is one of the best statue of Paul bunyan

Big statue in the middle of town. Had to park at the gas station across the street to get a quick pic, but still pretty cool!

Big statue, nice for the children

I believe this statue was referenced in a Stephen King novel (Bangors second-most popular resident after Paul).

Paul Bunyan holds a special place in my heart, as grade school children we used to come from several hours away to see the Paul Bunyan statue. It was on that field trip that we were educated about who Paul Bunyan was, and why he was made into a Statue..There are two other states that claim Paul Bunyan is from their State however The Maniacs no he is from Maine hes right down the road standing right there Big & Tall !!! Well worth a visit...

Just a statue

Was pretty cool to see this statue!!

Always enjoy seeing this statue I remember looking at it when I was little then bringing my children to see it and now my grandchildren and telling them the story about Paul Bunyan great statue in a great story and a great place Bangor Maine

Its a large statue of Paul Bunyan. There really isnt much else to say

Statue itself is cool. However we didnt expect it to be in a busy commercial area. Theres really nothing else to do there except for the statue.

Fun site for Stephen King fans

Im a little perplexed as to how I could possibly rate a statue. Its kind of funny.
