A towering statue of Paul Bunyan on its main road characterizes the historic ambiance of Kenton.

To the northwest, outdoor enthusiasts enjoy kayaking, canoeing, and hiking in the Smith and Bybee Wetlands Natural Area.
For picnics, cycling, jogging, basketball, and other sports activities, head for the green expanses of Kenton Park.

Kenton is a lovely neighborhood with unique shops and restaurants; here you can find antique shops, a bar, breakfast spots and even a huge statue of Paul Bunyan. The only negative I have for Kenton being that everything closes earlier than I would like; being in my late 20's I'd like to have places to meet up with friends other than a bar.
