About

The Healing Rock in Skiatook, Oklahoma is a natural formation rumored to have healing powers by the local Osage and Quapaw Indians of the 19th-century. According to legend, anyone who felt unwell could lean against the rock to receive its healing powers. Today, a nature trail leads to Healing Rock from the Corps of Engineers project office on Skiatook Lake.
