The Most Beautiful Tree In America Is Right Here In South Carolina… And It Isn’t General Sherman
Nearly everyone knows about Sequoia National Park in California and the beautiful trees within, and many people would also recognize General Sherman as being an important and beautiful tree among them, as well as one of the largest. However, there’s a beautiful tree in South Carolina that some say outshines any others in the country. Make sure the Angel Oak Tree is on your travel bucket list, because this stunning sample of nature’s beauty is one of a kind. It may be the most beautiful tree in America, after all.
Welcome to the Angel Oak Tree, a stunning spot that belongs among the best natural wonders in America. It might even be the number one tree, depending on who you ask.
The sheer size of this tree covers a huge area out on John's Island, where you can stand underneath it yourself. Though it's held up in places to keep it stable, the tree is simply amazing.
The Angel Oak Tree's shade covers 17,200 square feet, and the longest branch reaches out to 187 feet from tip to tip. If you love nature's wonders, then this is one place that belongs on any bucket list including South Carolina.
Sit back and consider how many animals and people have stood underneath this tree over all the years it's lived. It's got an amazing history that no one will ever really know, and all you can do is be a part of it.
Visiting Angel Oak Park and the tree itself is free, and is a great addition to any adventure in and around Charleston. What if you planned a whole Angel Oak themed day?
