Frog Rock (Bainbridge Island, Washington)
Rock on Bainbridge Island, Washington, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frog Rock is a glacial erratic on Bainbridge Island, Washington.[1] The frog shape is made of two stacked granite boulders, painted by a pair of local residents to resemble a frog on June 6, 1971.[2] The pair of boulders were reportedly once a single boulder which was dynamited in the 1950s or earlier, in order to remove it from a road right-of-way.[3][4] After the dynamiting, the rock was known as "Split Rock".[3]
