Paul Bunyan is a fictional (mythical) giant. In one legend, he created the Mississippi River when a huge water tank being hauled behind his giant blue ox (Babe) sprang a leak. In Minnesota, they have named a 123-mile lake trail for Paul Bunyan, which follows the Mississippi north as far as Brainerd, MN before turning NE and crossing the state to Bemidji, MN.
