Leo Petroglyph
Ancient rock carvings on a forest sandstone slab, with about 37 human, animal and footprint figures, and a short trail through a small gorge beside it.
Located in Jackson County about 40 km southeast of the city, a flat sandstone slab is carved with about 37 figures, including humans, birds, fish, snakes and footprints. They are believed to date from the Fort Ancient period (after about 1000 CE). A wooden pavilion protects the carvings, and beside it a short trail leads through a small gorge. The site is modest in size but its carvings are well preserved. Entry is free, and it is worth a detour for visitors interested in Indigenous heritage.
