The 35-foot tall redwood voyageur statue, carved by renowned chainsaw sculptor Dennis Roghair, welcomes visitors to the "Northwoods" as they leave downtown Pine City on "Old Hwy. 61."
Located in Riverside Park, the Voyageur is dedicated to the history of the early settlers of the Pine County area. It marks the city's beginnings as a trading post for the French Voyageurs and Indians.
The odd thing about this statue is that it is made of redwood instead of Minnesota pine.
