Very good pictures. I visited in August 2009. There is a spot on the one-mile trail, where, if you look up at the boulders you will see what appears to be a gigantic petrified snake with its mouth wide open, preparing to swallow another boulder to its right. The boulders at the top remind me of some sort of gigantic, petrified segmented creature, forever frozen in time.

My husband and I discovered this place by accident at the end of March some 10 or 20 years ago. I loved it. We have since taken most of our 9 grandchildren to see it. When traveling through Missouri we never miss an opportunity to stop again. However, the first trip was the only time we have seen it without foliage on the trees.

I grew up in Bismarck, MO , so when I was little I didn't really appreciate Elephant Rocks, now as an adult I live in Iowa and long for those carefree days spent at the park. Thank you so much for posting your pics. They bring back lots of memories of days longsince gone.

My family and I go to Elephant Rock annualy for our family reunions. We love the park so much it's a unique family tradition and so important that some members come as far as Chicago, Arkansas and Texas! It's breathtaking!!! Enjoyed by young and old.

We spent the week of Easter in Springfield Missouri, we've heard of Elephant Rock State Park and had to go see it for ourselves. If you have the time to walk thru the park you'll enjoy it greatly. The massive rocks and the formations, I can see why it's called elephant state park. Enjoyed the trails as well.

Very Nice Pictures!
When I was a kid we had friends who's propery backed up to the park. We would sneak over and go swimming in the quarry. We were so dumb, as an adult I realize how dangerous it was.
