Shelter Rock is a huge boulder deposited on the north shore of Long Island by glacial action during the last Ice Age. The Rock lies about ten feet from the eponymously-named Shelter Rock Road just within the bounds of the old Whitney family estate. It takes its name from the fact that the local Indians used it as a weather break in inclement conditions. The Rock weighs about 1,800 tons and has an overhang some thirty feet high.
