Frog Woman Rock, Volcanic rock summit near Russian River in Mendocino County, California
The volcanic monolith reaches 879 feet in elevation and stands prominently against the Russian River canyon through the California Coast Ranges.
The Northwestern Pacific Railroad constructed tunnel number 8 through the rock formation in 1889 to establish a route along the canyon's western side.
The name derives from Pomo mythology, where Frog Woman appears as the clever spouse of Coyote, featuring a human face and frog body.
The location next to U.S. Route 101 provides access points for rock climbing activities and whitewater kayaking in the Russian River.
The Russian River channel moves westward against the rock face due to an earth flow, creating distinctive sediment patterns in the water.
