Pilot Knob Volcano is located in Austin, Texas near McKinney Falls State Park. Pilot Knob consists of four small hills in a two-mile area that we call Pilot Knob. When Pilot Knob formed in Austin it was completely underwater so when it erupted the magma came in contact with the seawater. It is one of the few volcanoes that are on private property. Luckily for the owners Pilot Knob is currently extinct, but around 83 million years ago it erupted. This volcano is made up of sedimentary rocks that created shell fragments around the volcano after the eruption. These fragments have created about seven smaller hills in the ash, and some lithified beach sediments. Now Pilot Knob is an attraction for people to look at when driving around the Austin area.
