A brown wooden sign reads "Paul Bunyan State Trail" with additional text below that states "Trail Head 2.3 mi. West Parking & User Services" with an arrow pointing to the left. A black road bike with red handlebars is leaned against the sign. The bike is positioned on a grassy area with a paved trail in the background, surrounded by trees and natural vegetation.
