Sunday Rock, an Adirondack landmark and fixture in local lore, stands along State Highway 56 in South Colton, New York.

In the early days of settlement, Sunday Rock was seen by many as a dividing line between civilization and “the wild.” Legends of the rock were plentiful; some said beyond it time stood still, while others said it marked the boundary of organized law enforcement.

Sunday Rock has been moved a number of times in the past century to accommodate road construction and widening. Each time a group of dedicated individuals raised money to pay for the moving, and preservation, of the rock.

Today Sunday Rock stands as a symbol of all Northern New York and the Adirondacks have to offer, and a reminder of the importance of opportunity, adventure, and respect for nature.
