Petroglyphs on a rock in a private residence's field. Very unusual. Obviously old! Beautiful drive to get there!
Judaculla Rock, a large soapstone boulder, is covered in carved circles, lines, cupules, crosses, anthropomorphs, and other shapes. Long grooved lines, referred to as rills or "power lines," interconnect the symbols.
There are no restrooms, water fountains, or other such amenities. You'll only find the rock and a wooden viewing platform.
