The Amackassin

The Amackassin Boulder, another old Lebanon landmark that people in the 18th century would flock to before there was the boob tube or the internet. The Amackassin boulder is Native American for “great stone” and was named by Reverend Charles A. Downs in the late 1800s. It weighs an estimated 500 tons. It can be viewed by parking at the top off Wolf Run and taking a quick walk on the trail behind the garbage dumpsters staying to your right. There are also some other large boulders nearby. It is amazing to imagine a glacier moving a rock of this size.
