Description

Digital images of the Lost Rock of Douglas Beach Most feature very large rock, etched with initials and graffiti, that sits on the beach with Lake Michigan in the background. This is the famous "Lost Rock" or "Last Rock" that appears and disappears as lake levels rise and fall and the contours of the beach shift. It is possible multiple rocks that have appeared south of the Douglas Beach have worn the Lost Rock title. Also included in this entry are multiple, low-resolution images of the lost rock copied from the Jack Sheridan Drive and other sources.
