Caudy's Castle Rock

Caudy's Castle Rock is a sandstone tower that stands 1,070 feet (326 m) above sea level and towers over the river.

The rock formation is named after James Caudy, an early Hampshire County pioneer and settler who fought off an attack by fifteen Native Americans from the rock during the French and Indian War.  The pillar lies on the southern end of Castle Mountain.

A very steep path leads up to the rock from the river -- however, the rock lies on private property, so please secure permission from the owners before visiting and treat the area gently.
