Elephant Rocks

Elephant Rocks State Park, nestled in the heart of the Missouri Ozarks, is a geological wonderland that captivates visitors with its unique and colossal granite formations. Spread across 1,300 acres of lush forests and rugged terrain, the park is named after its massive elephant-shaped boulders that stand like ancient sentinels, scattered throughout the landscape.

These giant granite rocks, some reaching up to 27 feet in height, were formed over a billion years ago through a combination of volcanic activity and erosion, resulting in a surreal collection of rounded, elephantine structures. Visitors can marvel at the impressive natural sculptures while traversing the well-maintained trails that wind through the park, offering panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness.
