Oregon

Oregon is one of the states with the most Bigfoot sightings in the US, with hundreds of reports spanning over a century. Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is a legendary creature that is said to be half human, half ape, huge and heavily hairy. Many people believe that Bigfoot lives in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, especially in the remote and rugged areas of Oregon.

Some of the places where Bigfoot activity has been reported or investigated in Oregon are:

• The North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, a museum and research center founded by Cliff Barackman, a Bigfoot field researcher and co-host of Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot”¹. The center displays historical hand prints, footprints, and other evidence of Bigfoot’s existence, as well as a life-sized replica of the creature¹.

• The Oregon Bigfoot Highway, a 71-mile stretch of scenic byway from Clackamas to Detroit, where many Bigfoot sightings have occurred over the last 100 years³. The highway passes through dense forests, mountains, and lakes, and offers opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping³.
