A Raftsman Tells of Rock at Lone Rock From an article in the Baraboo Daily News - Thursday, February 6, 1913 Lone Rock, Wisconsin
is a very pretty, romantic spot, according to J. G. Steele. In the Wisconsin
river at that place is a large rock which rises up from the waters of
the Wisconsin river, tall and majestic, which doubtless gives the name
to the place. A natural tunnel like opening through the rock allows boats
to pass on their way. The water gleams like silver in the slightly shadowed
tunnel and is really beautiful. At one time a large portion of the rock
fell away from the main mass and, it is said, "fell upon a passing
vessel, causing its wreck." At any rate, the decaying hull of the
vessel could easily be seen in the river and also low lying mass of rock.
J. D. Steele has seen it all many times, when as a raftsman he went about
his work, passing the spot.
