Dinner Rock, so called, east side of Welch Island. The rock juts out over the water and is large enough for several to sit on with a wide-open view.
The island was cleared in the mid to late 1800s for sheep pasture. We were told that workers would have lunch there, known as dinner back then. A lunch box was known as a dinner pail.

I've also heard it called Picnic Rock. Dinner Rock has a more historic, plausible story.
