Stonedam Indian Rock

LoveLakeLife · 08-20-2017, 06:39 PM

Does anyone know where on Stonedam Island is the rock with the concave top that is reputed to have been used by the Indians to melt the pitch for canoes? I have walked the trails but there aren't any markers or other indicia.

It seems like there is one of these on most islands. Diamond in particular comes to mind. It's like Old Man of the Mountain. There are several of these. Eagle Island comes to mind. Finding things in rocks is like watching cloud shapes.
