EXPLORE Squatch’s favorite vacation spot! Beavers Bend State Park and the surrounding area is a popular sight for Bigfoot enthusiasts. This little corner of Choctaw Country boasts multiple sightings and eerie encounters, and with the beauty of the surrounding forest and the bountiful Mountain Fork River, it’s no wonder why. In fact, you can’t go far in this area of Oklahoma without running into a store named after Bigfoot or a cutout of the creature’s likeness tucked into the fence line – places like Bigfoot Speedway and Bigfoot Axe Throwing at Hochatown Escape Games.

Stop by The Mercantile at Choctaw Landing, where adventure meets local flavor. Grab handcrafted Choctaw gifts, and freshly brewed Starbucks, then check out their fun Bigfoot-themed merchandise — the perfect keepsake for any Sasquatch-seeker! ESCAPE If Squatch has a hometown, it’s Honobia! Tucked into the rugged Kiamichi Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma, this tiny, off-the-grid community proudly claims the title of the “Bigfoot Capital of the World.” Every October, the town comes alive with the Honobia Bigfoot Festival and Conference, where visitors can enjoy storytelling, exhibits, and guided Sasquatch hunts through the surrounding forests. For a place to stay, travelers can choose charming riverside cabins on Airbnb or the town’s cozy RV park, making it easy to fully immerse yourself in the wilderness while chasing legends, exploring the outdoors, or simply soaking in Honobia’s quiet, rugged charm. Hungry? Grab a snack at Three Rivers Meat Co or head to nearby Clayton for camping essentials at Choctaw Country Market. The magic of Honobia lies in its unspoiled isolation, so pack bug spray (or Bigfoot spray!), sturdy boots, and a sense of wonder — and if Bigfoot calls, follow the trail!
