Bigfoot in Wisconsin? It might be more likely than you think. The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has recorded over 100 reported sightings in the state since the 1970s, the majority in or around Wisconsin’s expansive Northwoods.
So if you and your friends are looking for a little adventure, or even the tale of a lifetime, consider exploring one of the following bigfoot “hotspots” in Wisconsin to improve your chances of a face-to-face encounter. Even if you don’t find any proof of this creature, you’ll have enjoyed a fresh air getaway in scenic surroundings.
MARINETTE COUNTY BIGFOOT HOTSPOTS
According to the BFRO, nine bigfoot sightings have been reported in Marinette County. The most recent was in July 2018, when a retired police officer witnessed a bigfoot crossing a highway near Pembine. Other sightings have been reported northwest of Crivitz in a large expanse of wetlands and hardwood forest.
The large number of sightings in this area has even inspired an annual Bigfoot and Paranormal Convention in Marinette, where people can share their stories and learn more about tracking the elusive beast.
To do some investigating of your own, set up camp at McClintock County Park or Goodman County Park. From there, mix in some scenic sightseeing by hiking to McClintock Falls, Big South Falls, Strong Falls and along the High Falls Flowage—definitely “squatchy” terrain.
