Elephant Rocks State Park

At this park, giant, billion-year-old granite boulders 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.

A self-guiding trail (with Braille signage) winds among these geologic wonders and takes visitors past what remains of the long-dead mining operation.

Picnic sites, a playground and flush restrooms are available. The park is managed by Battle of Pilot Knob State Historic Site.

The park is off of Route 21, 4 miles north of Pilot Knob.
