Elephant Trunk Rock in Wisconsin is right along the roadside, with an official highway sign in case you can't guess the name.

About 3 miles north of the little unincorporated burg of Ithaca, WI, on Wisconsin State Highway 154 is "Elephant Trunk Rock". It really does look like an elephant trunk, and the gentleman who owns it has a sign up right next to it reminding everyone that it's "Elephant Trunk Rock."
There's a two car turnout right on the highway, which runs within 10 feet of the rock, so it's impossible to miss. No admission!
