The Enchanted Rock is a distinctive 500 ft. high dome of pink granite, the second largest in North America. It is designated a National Natural Landmark and is an impressive geological feature. The rock was formed over one billion years ago (making it among the oldest exposed rocks in the U.S.) as molten lava rose up from the center of the Earth, then cooled before surfacing.
The park offers something for everyone: visitors can enjoy primitive backpacking, camping, hiking, rock climbing, picnicking, geological study, bird watching, and star gazing. It is located 18 miles north of Fredericksburg on Ranch Road 965. From Lano, take State Highway 16 for 14 miles and then go west on Ranch Road 965.
