Split Rock is named for the unique glacial formations deposited in the area thousands of years ago. This awesome feature and the beauty and diversity of the surrounding area have been a destination for exploration and wonder for generations. The land is a mosaic of woodlands and meadows surrounded by Woolper Creek and the Ohio River (with an abundant wildlife resource). Archaeological evidence of past cultures gives testament to the rich bounty of this area that has supported human communities and endures today.

- ↑ George was sharecropping the farm. It was called Split Rock because of a huge rock split by nature which became a tourist attraction. The rock is a couple of miles east of Petersburg, just off shore in the Ohio River, but it has been under water since the river was dammed. Today (1999), it is part of a private property and cannot be accessed by the public. It is apparently no longer of any interest - the younger folks in Petersburg have never heard of it.
Update 2006: Apparently the guy who owned the property has sold it to Wildlife Conservation Kentucy, Inc., which has created the Split Rock Conservation Park. See source text for more info.
