Bigfoot Sighting Investigated in Moreau, New York State Park

A recent video from the Adirondack Bigfoot YouTube channel dives deep into one of upstate New York's most compelling pieces of Sasquatch lore, and honestly, it's the kind of content that makes you want to grab your camera and hit the trails yourself.
The video focuses on the town of Moreau, tucked into the northeast corner of Saratoga County. For anyone unfamiliar with the area, this is rugged terrain. The Palmertown mountain range cuts through the landscape with steep ridges, rocky quartz-veined outcrops, dense pine stands, and secluded glacial ponds. It's the kind of place where something could easily live unnoticed for decades, and apparently, something might have.
The centerpiece of the video is a sighting from the late 1970s or early 1980s that has stuck with the witness his entire life. He was driving down Nolan Road with his kid in the back seat, somewhere around his 40s at the time. Nolan Road is narrow, descending along a steep hill toward a quiet pond, with dense woods on a punishing 70-degree slope to the right and a complete drop-off into more woods to the left. Out of nowhere, a creature completely covered in dark hair came barreling down the hill on two legs, but moving more like a bear than a person. It sprinted across the road and leaped feet first over the drop-off to the left. The whole thing lasted about two seconds. The witness yelled for his kid to look, but by the time the kid looked up from his book, it was gone.
Here's where it gets really interesting. A couple of months later, teenage girls reported seeing a Sasquatch in nearby Washington County. The sheriff's office actually investigated, and an officer out in the forest claimed to have seen the creature too. The witness believes it made it into the local newspaper, though tracking down that archive has been impossible. Corroborating reports like this are gold in Sasquatch research, and it's exactly the kind of pattern that keeps researchers coming back to certain regions.
But the video doesn't stop at the historical account. The host actually heads out to Moreau Lake State Park to investigate, and what they find is genuinely intriguing. They stumble onto a trail that isn't regularly used, partially blocked by a downed tree, and almost immediately start noticing things that don't quite add up. Tree twists. Fresh-looking breaks. And then they find something that really catches the eye: what appears to be a structure.
There's a pile of old trees stacked together, a branch that looks like it was deliberately placed rather than naturally fallen, and most striking of all, a branch driven straight into the ground, intertwined with dead branches above it. Food on the ground. Direct access to water. Shelter overhead. The host calls it a "Bigfoot lookout point and a structure," and honestly, when you see the footage, it's hard to argue with that assessment. The location is perfect, tucked back, overlooking a pond, with multiple escape routes through dense cover.
The host also mentions attending a Bigfoot meetup event in the area, where they hit trails and found some interesting evidence including X formations in the trees and additional twists and breaks. Moreau Lake State Park has apparently acquired new land recently, opening up new trails and access points that weren't available before, which means there's a lot of fresh ground to cover.
For anyone interested in Adirondack Sasquatch reports or just loves seeing boots-on-the-ground investigation work, this video is absolutely worth the watch. The combination of a solid historical sighting with corroborating reports and current-day field investigation with potential structural evidence is exactly the kind of content that keeps the conversation alive.
