Elephant Rocks State Park is a state-owned geologic reserve and public recreation area encompassing an outcropping of Precambrian granite in the Saint Francois Mountains in the U.S. state of Missouri. The state park is named for a string of large granite boulders which resemble a train of pink circus elephants.[5] The park was created following the donation of the land to the state in 1967 by geologist Dr. John Stafford Brown.[6] The park is used for picnicking, rock climbing, and trail exploration. It is managed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.[5]
