Frog Rock is glacial erratic on Bainbridge Island, Washington.[1] The frog shape is made of two stacked granite boulders, painted by a pair of local residents to resemble a frog on June 6, 1971,[2] The pair of boulders were reportedly once a single boulder which was dynamited in the 1950s or earlier, in order to remove it from a road right-of-way.[3][4] After the dynamiting, the rock was known as "Split Rock".[3]

The rock is locally famous,[5] known to be a humorous historic marker,[6] and a notable visitor attraction.[7][8] It is used by bicyclists as a regrouping point.[5]

A local "resiliency forum" is named for it.[2]
