Paint Rock Bluff



Paint Rock Bluff, also known as Paint Rock or Painted Rock, is a cliff along the Mississippi River in Allamakee County, Iowa. The cliff was once a major navigational landmark for steamboats on the Upper Mississippi River. It was once the site of a Ho-Chunk village, and is noted for Native American petroglyphs and paintings. These glyphs and paintings have been badly damaged by the elements and vandalism.

As a hydronym, it gives its name to Paint Creek.
