Blind Rock

Blind Rock is an **ancient gneiss boulder** in Queensbury, in northern Warren County, that carries layered Native American and early-colonial history. The rock sits in a small wooded preserve at the intersection of **Lake George Road (U.S. 9) and Montray Road** — 300 feet east of Route 9, 100 feet north of Montray Road. The Town of Queensbury historical marker describes the site as a "**legendary place of Native American rendezvous and ambushes** and an **English-French frontier boundary** colonial landmark and crossroads." It served as a known landmark on early trails through what is now southern Adirondack territory, and was referenced by both colonial powers as a boundary marker between English and French claims **prior to the French and Indian War (1754–63)**. Between **2012 and 2018**, the rock was carefully relocated about half a mile from its original spot, and the Town of Queensbury worked through that period to purchase the land where the boulder now sits — preserving the site in a small park setting accessible off Montray Road. Free to visit; small parking area on Montray Road. Best for: history-minded travelers, anyone interested in pre-Revolutionary New York, and visitors looking for a short heritage stop between Lake George Village and Glens Falls.
