The Sasquatch Phenomenon
Legend has it that Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, roams the dense forests of the Rogue River Valley. While skeptics remain unconvinced, the allure of this cryptid continues to captivate the imagination of believers worldwide. In the Pacific Northwest, especially Southern Oregon near Eagle Point, Sasquatch sightings and stories have become part of local lore for over a century.
Unveiling the World’s Only Sasquatch Trap
Immerse yourself in the intrigue by visiting the world’s only known Sasquatch trap, located just a stone’s throw away from Applegate Lake in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Constructed in 1974 by the North American Wildlife Research Team, this peculiar structure aimed to prove the existence of the elusive bipedal hominid. While its six-year operation failed to capture Sasquatch, the trap still stands as a testament to the enduring mystery surrounding this enigmatic creature.
You’ll find the Sasquatch trap on the Collings Mountain Trail No. 943 near the Hart-Tish Park entrance. For an up-close encounter with the Sasquatch trap, embark on the scenic 7-mile hike up Collings Mountain. Starting at Hart-Tish Park Picnic Area, follow the trail across the street and prepare to be captivated by breathtaking views of the Siskiyou Crest and Applegate Lake. Approximately 0.75 miles into the hike, you’ll reach the old Bigfoot trap, a fascinating sight steeped in both curiosity and local history. Traverse the trail, encompassed by majestic Douglas fir, ponderosa, and sugar pine trees, and descend steadily for three miles until you reach Watkins Campground, completing an adventure that intertwines nature, mystery, and physical rejuvenation.
Is Bigfoot real?
The debate over Sasquatch’s existence continues to spark fascination and intrigue. Some speculate that it could be a surviving version of gigantopithecus, the world’s largest primate that once inhabited the forests of China and India millions of years ago. While scientific evidence remains elusive, the allure of Sasquatch persists across continents. Discover the legends, examine extraordinary footprints, and immerse yourself in the rich lore that shrouds this mythical creature.
