Legends of Bigfoot are numerous in the Northwestern United States. You see Bigfoot tracks painted on sidewalks, Bigfoot's Favorite Hamburger is on the menu, and, of course, the innumerable Bigfoot T-Shirts.
Last week I went to Ohio and I did not expected to hear about Bigfoot. But Salt Fork State Park is home to Ohio's Bigfoot. Accordng to those that have witnessed the creature, he is very similar to the Northwestern Bigfoot and is about 9-feet tall. Since 1972, there has been 24 different sightings, the latest in 2010. Also, like the Northwestern Bigfoot, no one has found a body to prove the legend, but the believers seem to agree -there is SOMETHING out there.
Bigfoot has stirred up enough interest that Don Keating has founded the Eastern Ohio Bigfoot Investigation Center. They have a yearly convention at Salt Fork State Park that sells out early. Salt Fork State Park has a lovely lodge with plenty dining and meeting room. Then, there are the woods just outside the lodge. Miles of trails allow for plenty of hiking and hoping to sight Bigfoot.

Am I a believer? I'm not sure, but I did keep a sharp eye out while I was in the woods at Salt Fork State Park. Go there and see for yourself. It's a great family destination whether Bigfoot appears or not.
