Peculiar carved rock face at the bottom of a deadly steep and high bank above the Bushkill Creek. The skull is invisible except from one angle, best seen from the middle of the stream. Once you see it, however, you can see where the carving was done. A few yards downstream if you look closely you can see a roughly rectangular window carved the same way in a sort of curtain of rock along the creek.
It is unkown who did this and when. Many people come and go from this popular part of the park at all times of year without noticing its presence.
