There are many stories about what happened to Paul Bunyan, but no one knows for sure. Some say he was last seen in Alaska or the Arctic Circle. Others say he returns to Minnesota every summer and moves in and out of the woods. There is; however, evidence that he died, but how he died is not known. His grave stone is located in Paul Bunyan Memorial Park at Kelliher, Minnesota. A large pine tree shades his grave. He was 99 years old.

Minnesota is home to several Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox statues, with the most notable being in Bemidji, where a large statue of Paul Bunyan stands 18 feet tall alongside Babe. Other towns in Minnesota also boast their own versions or smaller statues, contributing to a count of around 20 Paul Bunyan-related statues throughout the state. These statues celebrate the legendary lumberjack and his companion, reflecting Minnesota's rich logging history and folklore.

Paul Bunyan, the legendary lumberjack, is most famously associated with the state of Minnesota. The stories of Bunyan and his giant blue ox, Babe, were popularized in the early 20th century, particularly through a series of tall tales and folklore that highlighted the logging industry in Minnesota. His legacy is celebrated in various ways, including statues and festivals throughout the state.
According to legend, Paul Bunyan is said to be buried in a pine box in a spot near the town of Kelliher in northern Minnesota, not in Wisconsin. This story is part of the folklore surrounding the legendary lumberjack and may not have a basis in historical fact.

Supposedly, Paul Bunyan was a giant, and his profession was logging trees. He had an enormous blue ox, and legend has it, that everywhere he stepped (Paul, not the ox) filled with water and became a lake. That's (supposedly) why Minnesota has so many lakes.

Minnesota's 10,000 lakes were formed by Paul and Babe's footprints when they were blindly wandering in a deep blizzard.
