Rule Changes Concerning Pets at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area to Take Effect March 1.
Beginning March 1, new rules will take effect at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area designed to balance the need to better protect sensitive natural habitats atop the rock, including the vernal pools, and still allow visitors to continue to enjoy central Texas’ most popular destination with their pets.
Starting Tuesday, pets will only be allowed in specified camping areas, day-use areas and the Loop Trail. Pets will no longer be allowed to accompany hikers on the Summit Trail that ascends to the top of Enchanted Rock.
Most trails, including the Summit Trail, are closed 30 minutes after sunset, allowing park visitors to view the sunset and safely descend to the parking lot. The Loop Trail is the only trail open after sunset to gain access to the primitive camping areas.

The Lost Wall Trail is currently unmarked. It is the trail located between the green and the blue trail markers near where the Echo Canyon Trail turns right and becomes the Backside Trail.
From the parking lot: Follow the Summit Trail to the Echo Canyon Trail and turn left. Stay on the Echo Canyon trail and pass Lunch Rock, the purple trail, and the green trail. Turn right on to the unmarked Backside trail. The first trail on your right is the Lost Wall/Center Wall Trail. If you come to the blue trail you've gone too far.
