Ada, Oklahoma - Lightning Ridge Frog Rock

This rock has been painted like a frog since my father grew up in Ada back in the 1950s (his first memories of it were that time frame). He told me he'd always remembered it painted that way and every few years someone would re-do the fading paint job. I've been going to Ada since I was a child in the 1970s and it's always been a fun site on the way out to my grandfather's farm! Don't get too distracted by the frog or you'll hit one of the turtles that park themselves on the road for warmth! [Jana Blake Chapline, 07/19/2005]

The famous "Lightning Ridge Frog Rock." I guess it resembled a frog and somebody dressed it up a little. [Jimmy Gibbs, 12/16/2000]
