A 19 ft fiberglass Paul Bunyan has stood at the entrance of Enchanted Forest Water Safari in Old Forge since the park opened in 1956. It was restored with reinforced fiberglass and a new coat of paint and remains the park's signature figure; the park's 70th-anniversary season (2026) added a roller coaster named in its honour.
