Paul & Babe's GeoHunt

The Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway offers dozens of fun, family activities that are FREE! The Byway Association is driven by a group of volunteers who all believe that their neighborhood was mean to be shared with vacationers, visitors and family.

Paul & Babe's GeoHunt is a great way to involve kids in the outdoors. It's a high-tech treasure hunt and an ideal multi-generational activity. The promotion takes participants on a trip around the Byway driving route, helping to educate them on the history, culture, environment and lore of the Byway region.

Over the years, the Paul Bunyan Scenic Byway Association has generated more than $150,000 in cash and in-kind donations and matched these efforts to various grants to finance more than $570,000 worth of projects along the Byway.
