Balancing Rock existed just south of Enchanted Rock until 1989, when local high-school kids knocked it over using explosives.

The balancing rock was quite large, approximately half the size of a passenger van, and was balanced on 3 points spaced about 3 feet apart and each one being less than a foot long.

A trail to the rock was outlined with paint, and the rock was located about 100 yards from the road. Many rocks in the area are balanced to some degree, but the Balancing Rock was unmistakeable.
