Umbrella Rock

The Rock is roughly a 40-minute walk or hike in the forest from the falls. You can also get there by car in about 10 minutes. The Umbrella Rock which is also referred to as Akatamann, meaning umbrella in the Akan language, is certainly a sight worth seeing.Its size can shelter up to about 12 to 15 people at once. Even though the pivot on which the top rock lies might seem small, it’s very strong and has not been able to pull or pushed down with manpower. Yearly, many tourists make it to the Boti Falls to have a feel of nature, without leaving the umbrella rock from sight. Nearby is also a rock known as the Fertility rock which is believed to bless young ladies who sit on it with twins or triplets.
