Eagle Rock, Mountain summit in Los Angeles, United States.

Eagle Rock is a summit in the Santa Monica Mountains that rises 596 meters above sea level and is composed of sandstone formations. The rock mass displays natural arches and alcoves carved into the sandstone structure.

The sandstone outcrop was originally called Elephant Rock, because from the north side it resembles an elephant's head. When Topanga State Park was created, the name of Eagle Spring, the spring to the east, was transferred to the peak. The 596 m summit is now reached on foot via the Musch Trail and Topanga Fire Road.

The name comes from Eagle Spring, the spring east of the peak, which was applied to the rock when Topanga State Park was created. The original name was Elephant Rock, because from the north side the sandstone outcropping resembles an elephant's head.
