Menges Rocks is a natural rock formation on the waters of Elk Fork Creek, in between the rural communities of Iuka and Conaway, in Ellsworth District, Tyler County, West Virginia. Gathering its name from the owner of the farm long ago, it has long been a peculiar attraction in this part of the county.
