The only real Bigfoot trap in the country

Located a half-mile west of Applegate Lake, the Collings Mountain Trail leads to a Bigfoot trap.

The trap was built in 1974 by the North American Wildlife Research Team (NAWRT), a defunct organization based in Eugene, Oregon, that was inspired by Perry Lovell, a miner who lived near the Applegate River, who claimed to have found 18-inch-long human-like tracks in his garden. NAWRT operated the trap, keeping it baited with carcasses for six years, but caught only bears.

In 1980 the Forest Service permanently bolted open the welded steel door due to safety hazards. Since then, the Forest Service has made some repairs to it now that it's become a popular hiking destination.
