Hiking High Point State Park: Uncovering Bigfoot Tracks & Local Wildlife

In a recent video posted on the Sussex County Bigfoot YouTube channel, Mike from High Point State Park in Montague, New Jersey takes us on a research hike to Rutherford Lake, an area where he has previously found Bigfoot footprints. As Mike and his team make their way down the trail, they discuss the various animals that can be found in the area during this time of year, including bears, which do not hibernate in New Jersey but rather enter a state of torpor, where they sleep but can still wake up and move around to find food. Mike also mentions the possibility of mountain lions in the area, although he doesn't get into the debate over their existence. He shares an experience of being stalked by something while on the Appalachian Trail, leaving the viewer to wonder if it was a person, a mountain lion, or perhaps a Bigfoot. As they approach the area where Mike found the Bigfoot tracks in February 2014, he notes that any tracks they may find along the way could be degraded due to the melting snow. He also reminds viewers to check their state's hunting seasons and wear orange when hiking during hunting season. One interesting bit Mike shares is that most trails east of the Mississippi run north and south, due to the Appalachian Mountains running in that direction. He also points out the unique shale landscape of the area, which makes it feel like walking on the moon. Towards the end of the video, Mike discovers an unmarked mountain bike trail and a porta potty, providing some humor and a break from the more serious discussion of Bigfoot research. Overall, the video provides an interesting look into the research and exploration of Bigfoot sightings in Sussex County, New Jersey. Mike's knowledge and experience in the area add to the intrigue and mystery of the search for Bigfoot.
