Angel Oak Tree

1 of 3

Angel Oak Forest on John's Island is located 12 miles outside of Charleston and is home to the Angel Oak Tree. If you're in the area, don't miss out on the opportunity to see one of the country's oldest and most impressive trees.

With a reputed age of 400-500 years, the Angel Oak has stood tall and strong in the face of many storms along the coast, including a few powerful ones. If you're brave enough, you can pose for a picture in front of the 66.5-foot-tall tree, 28-foot circumference.
