The rock, known by frontiersmen in frontier times as la petit roche and by the natives as "The Point of Rock", can be reached from Riverfront Park, downtown. A monument marker gives the history of the site.

The rock was a landmark used by bargemen, traders and trappers and was called the "little rock" to distinguish it from the "big rock" bluffs just upstream. These 150-foot bluffs overlook the river on the north bank about a dozen miles upstream from the little rock.
