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]
The rock is locally famous, [5] known to be a humorous historic marker, [6] and a notable visitor attraction. [7] [8] It is used by bicyclists as a regrouping point. [5]
A local "resiliency forum" is named for it. [2]
