Toth Indian head.

30-Foot-Tall Native American Head

I've seen several of these statues scattered across the country from coast to coast: an elongated Native American head with a distinctive headpiece. All are carved from large native trees in the area where they are on display. The sculptor is Peter Wolf Toth, and he has carved over 70 of these "Whispering Giants" as his tribute to the the North American Native Americans. This statue is hard to see due to the trees around it. There's a frontage road that runs behind it and you can find a place to park there.
