It is located {{convert|0.5|mi|km|1}} west of Mendenhall Lake and {{convert|10|mi|km|0}} northwest of the city of Juneau. The name was published by the United States Geological Survey in 1962 and entered into the Geographic Names Information System on March 31, 1981.[1] Originally known as "Big Rock" it was named for W. T. Tolch in 1923, who brought the Boy Scouts of America to Juneau.[2] Today the rock is at the end of a trail of the same name;[3] the trail is managed by the United States Forest Service.[4] A rededication occurred in 2000, and the rock is also the site of a commemorative plaque.[5] Tolch Rock is a large boulder, composed of granite and described as rectangular[6] and "erratic",[7] with young trees growing on its surface.[3] An active nest of northern goshawk was noted on the rock in 1999, and adults at the site were radiotagged; no activity was noted in 2000 or 2001.[8] References1. ^USGS GNIS Feature Detail Report: Tolch Rock {{JuneauAK-geo-stub}}2. ^Denison, Webster.
