Big Rock is one of the two major monoliths, or large glacial erratic boulders in the Monoliths Park. Big Rock is just north of Little Rock on Beaver Dam Hill. It sits in a small swamp of an unknown depth, which can flood when there has been heavy rain. This is a great place to snap some photos of this unique geological feature.
