Elephant Trunk Rock

A natural rock formation in Richland Center resembles the trunk and head of an elephant, thus the name Elephant Trunk Rock. For at least a century the roadside outcropping has been referred to as "Elephant Trunk Rock," and earlier as the "Devil's Hitching Post."

Elephant Trunk Rock in Wisconsin is right along the roadside, with an official highway sign in case you can't guess the name.

About 3 miles north of the little unincorporated burg of Ithaca, WI, on Wisconsin State Highway 154 is "Elephant Trunk Rock". It really does look like an elephant trunk, and the gentleman who owns it has a sign-up right next to it reminding everyone that it's "Elephant Trunk Rock."

There's a two-car turnout right on the highway, which runs within 10 feet of the rock, so it's impossible to miss.
