Spyrock (formerly, Spy Rock) is an unincorporated community of ranches in Mendocino County, California.[1][2] It is located around Sky Rock Road, which runs east of Highway 101 to the Eel River and Northwestern Pacific Railroad.[3][2]
It is named after Spy Rock, a 540ft landmark hill on the east side of the river, and the The Wildlands Conservancy operates the 5,832 acres Spyrock reserve in the area.[4][5][6]
A post office operated at Spyrock from 1910 to 1911, and from 1915 to 1967.[7] Spy Rock Elementary School located on Spy Rock Road is in Laytonville Unified school district, [8] although Spy Rock previously had its own school district.[9]
There was a station on the railroad named Spy Rock which until 1914 was named Redwine.[10]
In 1982 a Petroglyph site was discovered beside Spy Rock Road which provided the first evidence of complex rock art boulders in the north east United States.[11][12]
The Spy Rock Road album by The Lookouts was named after the road by Larry Livermore who lived in Spy Rock in the 1980s.[2]
