Located in the wooded heart of the thumb, the park features a
large slab of stone with Petroglyphs, (Indian carvings) that
Archaeologists believe to be between 300 and 1000 years old and
the only ones in the lower peninsula. The DNR has erected a large
pavilion over the rock, which contains dozens of carvings. There
is no entrance fee. A short trail leads from the parking lot a few
hundred yards inland to the pavilion.
