Help Identifying Strange Footprint.?

I live on a creek and one day my friend and I noticed footprints walking from the creek to the woods and we had never seen anything of the sort. The prints looked like human hand prints but the fingers were a bit wider and there was no pinky. Just a thumb and three wide fingers. It's a private creek and not where anyone would think to swim so it wasn't an eroded human print. I can't find any pictures of the prints online, can you identify from my description? Thanks.
