Guest Editor-Blogger, Sierra Tahoe Bigfoot Research has this to ask and comment on Squaw Lake, closing 2010:
I'm just curious to know why there is talk of it being considered dangerous? Besides the vandalism, is there evidence of "dangerous behavior"? Was there a threatening encounter(s)? I know sometimes they can be vocal and scary, but has there been any reports of threatening, physical violence?
I've gone back through the blog here, best I can, and really see nothing conclusive, regarding a danger, except for people being scared by the "big guy." Did I miss something?
What I think is interesting is by the USFS closing the lake, it is almost as if they are formally acknowledging that a Sasquatch exists, and is in the area. Closing it cuts their liability, just in case someone does get hurt.
Thanks for the updates!

The trash cans being destroyed and thrown 60 feet out into lake and information board torn apart doesn't seen dangerous to you??
The very fact they found twisted trees there tell me this Sasquatch feels this area is his or her domain. Also they probably know more than there making public. Something is afoot that's for sure. On the web I read where this lake had trouble back in 1946 when the CCC was constructing a road to it. Some Sasquatches may not be as friendly as others. This whole area seems to be filled with sighting of something very aggressive acting.
Actually I cant say much here, but can address some things. The USFS does have probable cause to believe that a very dangerous animal or animals, is in the Squaw Lake and surrounding areas. Over the last three years the sighting reports have been more complete than the older ones. (older ones are not very precise). The one called the woodcutters sighting was actually more violent than reported publicly. I believe that the Hamilton incident was a wake up indicator of the animals curiosity with young children.
No Kirk, I don't think the destruction of inanimate objects shows a particular danger, or violence toward people. There are many reports of Sasquatches acting out to show that human presence isn't appreciated, with no examples of anyone being harmed. Rock throwing occurs all the time, but I've never read a report where someone has been hit by a thrown rock. I'm not saying that the lake shouldn't be closed, and that these induviduals shouldn't be considered dangerous. I was just curious to know if there were any reports that showed a hardened agressivness toward people.
True Shane, I'm sure there are "bad" Squatches, just like there are bad people. Scary thought.
FS, I agree with the "curiousity in children" theory. The same can be said of women too. I have a 7 year old daughter and my son is 9, so this concerns me. Especially when we're out in the woods, on top of having to worry about bears and mountain lions. I'm wondering if the west side of Fourmile Lake will need to be closed too? I see on Google Maps that they are only about 500 feet apart.
Thanks for the input everyone
Fourmile lake is 40 miles away. There are no FS lakes in the area except for Squaw. The closest is Azalea Lake which has had problems too. It is only accessible by pack horse or foot.
Thanks FS, Google is showing Squaw next to Fourmile Lake, which is west of Klamath. I'll figure it out, now that you pointed it out to me. I'm not from OR, so I'm going by my computer maps. I'll find it now. Thanks!
You've got the wrong Squaw Lake the one that were talkin about is 23 miles south of Powers, Oregon in the Siskiyou National Forest google earth Search for Powers,Oregon then from Powers to Squaw Lake
Got it FS! Thanks! There are several Squaw Lakes, so that was a little difficult to find. Now I know where everyone is talking about!
