Whether you know him as Sasquatch, Yeti, or Bigfoot, the giant mythical beast is believed to have roamed parts of North America for almost 200 years. Actual proof of his existence still remains to be seen, but many still believe that the ape-like creature has inhabited forests, mountains, and parks across America. While there have been countless sightings of Bigfoot, none have given definitive proof he is in fact a living creature. No matter if you are trying to be the first to prove the existence of Bigfoot, or just experience new parts of the country, these locations are worth a visit.

1. Big Cypress National Preserve
In the swamps of south Florida, Big Cypress National Preserve has seen a recent uptick in Bigfoot sightings in the last few years. This preserve has 12 campgrounds with hiking trails, canoe trips, and bicycle tours. As the preserve is located within the Everglades region of Florida, the majority of the preserve consists of tropical wetlands, making for a dangerous environment filled with alligators, snakes, and other harmful animals.
