Rock with face painted on it???

[Guest]

My father-in-law recently passed away and while looking through old photos I found a few pictures from fishing trips which I believe was from Canada, or maybe not. There is a large rock with a face painted on it and was wondering if anyone may be familiar with it? I would like to find where it is and take my wife for a trip to see it. Any help would be great as well as a photo if anyone has one for comnparison. My scanner is out so have no way to post photo. THANKS!!

Was it painted, or was it more of a natural face. I am familiar with an Indian face on the rocks, and the braided hair is moss/leichens (spelling?) and the face is natural rock shapes. It is awesome. Might this be it?

It is painted and I would have to double check pictures but I think it was there in the 50's and 60's for sure.

Yellow Girl Point on Lake of the Woods has the rock with the happy face. This is located on Lake of the Woods just out of Sioux Narrows.

bemduckboy,

There are several areas on LOW that might fit the bill with the rock on Yellow Girl Point being the most prominent. Hard to say without seeing the picture. If you care to, send it to me at:

I will ensure that it gets returned to you and let's hope that someone can identify it.

Your best bet would be to scan the picture and post it on this thread. I'm sure somebody here would be able to identify the spot with 100% confidence, but they'd need to see it to do so.

My vote goes to Yellow Girl Point too.

Smiley face, yellow rock...(I know your pic is black and white)

There is a big rock painted here, close to Kenora on Lake of the Woods that is a bit of an attraction. It's called the Devil Stone. It's a big devil face painted on a very large rock located at the Devil's Gap...might be a possibility.

If it is the Yellow Girl rock, there is are neat looking grounds with a few old cabins there. I have never stopped and looked around there, but I'd certainly like to. Does anybody know the history of the structures? An old resort?

That was an old resort at one time. The old cabins are gone, someone purchased that land a few months ago and destroyed the old cabins. There is now one small cabin that was finished a few weeks ago.

At the Hinckley DNR ponds there is a rock out in the water with a perfect yellow smiley face on it.
