This majestic beauty still stands. Mother Nature and the city parks department is taking great care of the tree. Pay attention to the "open" hours as the gates are promptly locked at closing time and afterward you will only be able to view the Oak through a fence. The road back to the tree is dangerous: narrow, quite muddy, and full of pot holes. Drive slow.

The Angel Oak -- an amazing 400 year old oak tree.
[Ryan Welch, 02/18/2020]Overrated. No marked roads. No tripods. No dogs. No clean bathrooms. Overpriced, unimpressive gift shop. You will spend 15 minutes here, tops.
[Unimpressed, 04/01/2019]Turned up 9:30am Sunday and it was closed. Can "just" see it from the road through cyclone fencing. Open Monday-Saturday 9-5 and Sunday 1-5.

Very cool, old tree. Pack a lunch and eat at the nearby picnic tables.
