Boat Rock Preserve is an area that has been preserved by the Southeast Climbers Coalition. The surrounding area was being developed, and the climbers rushed to preserve some of the area for bouldering.

The boulders here remain – similar to Stone Mountain and Arabia Mountain – after the surrounding different kinds of stones have eroded away.
