Frog Rock, Glacial erratic on Bainbridge Island, Washington, US.

Two stacked granite boulders painted to resemble a frog stand at the intersection of Madison and Phelps Road on Bainbridge Island.

The original boulder was divided into two pieces during road construction in the 1950s, leading to its initial name Split Rock.

Two high school graduates initiated the painting tradition on June 7, 1971, transforming the granite formation into a recognizable frog figure.

The rock formation functions as a gathering point for cyclists and provides an educational opportunity to learn about glacial geology.

During the 2020 health crisis, local residents painted a protective mask on the rock to promote public awareness.
