Skunk Ape Research Headquarters

This is a must-see jewel--my kids (4 and 11) and I spent well over an hour getting a personal tour of the "zoo" in the back and loved every minute. Not a single word was spoken about the Skunk Ape, but we learned a ton about birds, epiphytes, snakes and tortoises! [missy, 05/09/2011]

Skunk ape themed gift shop, "evidence," etc. There's a concrete gorilla at the campground entrance. [Nancy McCaskey, 05/23/2005]

[RA: Skunk Ape Research Headquarters is in the office/gift shop of Jack Shealy's Trail Lakes campground. It's Jack's brother David who's on a mission to hunt down the elusive swamp creature, and tell its story at Skunk Ape HQ.]
