Big Ole - Big Viking Statue

Big Ole is a 28-foot roadside Viking statue on the Central Lakes Trail—an iconic subject for scale, portrait and travel shots against park, lake and trail backdrops. Easy to reach with nearby parking and trail access; no entry fee. Best at golden hour for warm side light, blue hour for dramatic silhouettes; winter snow and autumn color add strong seasonal contrast. Weekday mornings are least crowded; the statue is fully accessible from paved paths.
