Riyom Rock is a rock formation in Riyom, a town in Plateau State in central Nigeria. It is described as a dramatic pile of large boulders balanced precariously on top of one another, and it has become a well-known symbol of Plateau State, appearing widely in imagery associated with the state and drawing visitors as a tourist and picnic site. Detailed information on the rockformation's specific composition, exact height and geologic formation history is not established in the sources consulted; what is documented is its striking balanced-boulder form and its standing as one of the state's best-known natural landmarks, grouped alongside other well-known Nigerian rock formations such as Zuma Rock and Olumo Rock.
