Enchanted Rock State Natural Area > Nearby Places The closest town to Enchanted Rock is Fredericksburg, 18 miles to the south along Ranch Road 965. This is a popular centre for exploring the surrounding lands but is rather spoilt by an excess of tourist shops and over-promotion of its Germanic history - many towns in this area were established in the mid nineteenth century by German and Czech settlers. This part of Texas is also famous for its association with Lydon Johnson, the 36th president - there are, amongst other places, a Lydon B. Johnson State Historical Park, a Lydon B. Johnson National Historical Park and a Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park.
The nearest state park to Enchanted Rock State Natural Area - Pedernales Falls - is 30 miles away along Ranch Road 1323 (part of the Hill Country Trail) to Johnson City, then a little way east along route 2766. Other nearby parks include:
