Rock climbers must check in at park headquarters. You can pick up route maps there and read the climbing rules. Read through our [Climbing Information](https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/enchanted-rock/more-info/rock-climb) before you come.
#### Pets
To protect this Natural Area, pets are only allowed in the designated day-use picnic areas, the campgrounds, and on the Loop Trail (pets are not allowed on any other trail). Don't leave pets unattended, including in vehicles and at campsites, and keep them on a leash no longer than six feet at all times.
#### Shopping
Our park store carries some gift items. You can buy wood for campfires at the park. Please bring your own drinking water, as it is in short supply due to the ongoing drought.
