Bow & Arrow Effigy

(Lake Pepin Effigy)

    Alternately identified as a Bow & Arrow or a Bird Effigy, this rock figure is pointing toward (or flying in direction of) Lake Pepin.

The origins and age of this effigy is unknown, and archeologists are still puzzled over its intent and purpose. It seems to be the only

ancient boulder figure in Wisconsin, although many are known from other states. It is located on private property but obviously well

tended to and maintained, preventing the trees and shrubbery from consuming it. The effigy is just off of State Highway 35 (Great

River Road) south of Hager City, about a mile south of the intersection with U.S. Highway 63.
