Yes, there are a few other very interesting exposed formations of large boulders around this great State park. Several have caches hidden nearby and that’s a good way to discover them. They’ve possibly been exposed either by some significant geologic events, or through erosion, or some perhaps dropped by a passing glacier 10,000-or-so years ago.
This one, though, is kind of, like, just out there by itself. From the trail it almost looked as if it had fallen out of someone’s pocket by mistake. It seemed out of place when I spotted it from the trail there off into the woods; almost amusing to me. Except, from a closer look it probably hasn’t just been dropped here, but apparently pushed (+erosion) through the forest floor.
It appears to me to possibly be granite, not limestone. I know there are some more-experienced actual geology experts out there, and if you can provide us with refined information I’d be pleased to add that here.
I think you’ll find it at least mildly interesting to visit this site.
My cache is a bit better concealed than this boulder, but not far away.

During the warmer hiking, foliage-growth, and tick & mosquito seasons, I recommend long pants, boots, and bug spray.
Enjoy your outing out there, and this new discovery.

Our friends LCSM once again earned the first-to-find reward. Thank you (again), and congratulations.
