Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway
Pequot Lakes Information Center, MN

The Pequot Lakes Information Center borrows from both legend and history in its unique architecture. Designed in the style of the town's original railroad depot, the information center hosts a staff well versed in the local lore. The center provides informative fliers and pamphlets for several Byway activities, such as boat rentals, fishing guides, and the location and history of area resorts.

The Information Center is also the home of several local community events. Legend has it that when Paul Bunyan went fishing for the forty-foot walleye Notorious Nate, he flung him from the lake right into the middle of town. Paul's bobber snagged on the water tower scaffold, and Nate hit with such force that he made a large hole. The settlers started cooking beans in this hole, and the Pequot Lakes Bean Hole Days were born.
