The 2.5 acre Flag Rock Recreation Area was dedicated on October 12, 1974. The story of how the American flag came to be posted atop the rock pillar dates back to the 1920's when a German immigrant is said to have climbed the rock and erected the flag as a patriotic gesture and symbol of love for his newfound home.
In 2011 Animal Planet's tv show "Finding Bigfoot" spent a week in Southwest Virginia filming an episode that features scenes from High Knob. After the filming, the City of Norton passed a resolution declaring their city a Sanctuary for the Bigfoot/Sasquatch, locally known as the Woodbooger. The city erected a statue and designated the Flag Rock Recreation Area a "Woodbooger Sanctuary". When walking the gravel footpath to the Flag Rock Overlook, you can't miss the giant statue of the Woodbooger creature located just beyond the parking area.
