Tonkawa Indians believed ghost fires flickered at the top, and they heard weird creaking and groaning. There is an Indian legend of a pale man swallowed by a rock and reborn as one of their own.  Some Indians believed he wove enchantments on the giant rock, others say the rock wove the spells and when he was swallowed, he merely joined the many spirits who enchant this place.
Enchanted Rock State Natural Area covers 640 acres, and is one of the largest rock formations of its kind in the United States. Primitive backpacking, camping, hiking, technical and rock climbing, picnicking, geological study, bird watching, and star gazing are all part of the natural activities available. Visitors are not allowed to disturb plant or animal life, geological features, or Indian or historical artifacts. It is the law!
