2026 Northern New Jersey Expedition

 October 22 (Thursday) - 25 (Sunday)

BFRO organizers bring participants to areas where they will have encounters with Bigfoots at night. The odds of success depend on their selection of locations, among other things. Selecting the best locations depends upon sighting/encounter information -- the more, the better -- so the BFRO selects organizers who have the most information in a given state, and who have experience organizing trips there.

This expedition will be led by Larry Rippon and Scott Osborne.  Larry and Scott have led or assisted several BFRO expeditions in New Jersey.

Northern New Jersey is one of the parts of the country that is usually overlooked as a bigfoot area. There are definitely bigfoots in this part of New Jersey. There are lots of hills and woods in this part of New Jersey, and no big urban cetners. There are also many black bears and deer.

A key factor that makes northern New Jersey a bigfoot area -- the Appalachian Trail (AT). The AT passes through this part of the state. Bigfoots follow the green belts for the AT, as they are also known to do along the Continental Divide Trai, the Pacific Crest Trail, the Florida Trail, the Buckeye Trail (Ohio), etc.

Larry keeps on top of incoming sighting reports for northern New Jersey. Although he has some target areas picked out, he will probably identify areas of more current activity prior to this expedition in Fall as more reports come in to the BFRO during 2026.
