Elephant Rocks State Park
Elephant Rocks State Park
This park has many large, granite boulders which stand end-to-end, like a train of red circus elephants. Spend some time reading the names and comments carved into the red granite by 19th century miners who worked in the area, or make use of the self-guiding trail (with Braille signage) which winds among these geologic wonders and takes you past what remains of the long-dead mining operation.
Picnic sites and flush restrooms are available. The park is managed by Battle of Pilot Knob State Historic Site.
Did You Know?
There are carvings in many of the large rocks that date back to the 1800’s, put there by miners in the quarry.
