The Angel Oak tree is the main attraction in Angel Oak Tree Park. It stands 65 ft tall, with a circumference of over 25 ft. Many of its branches lie on the ground and others are supported. The longest of these is 187 ft long. There are claims that it is the largest tree east of the Mississippi River. It was damaged by winds during Hurricane Hugo in 1989 but has recovered. Visitors are not permitted to climb, or indeed, touch the tree. Entrance to the park is free and there are picnic facilities available and a gift shop.
