The McBaine Burr Oak Tree • Columbia Missouri • 08-26-2018

The McBaine Burr Oak Tree has stood strong for nearly 400 years, withstanding storms, droughts and floods.

As the largest burr oak in Missouri, the tree is tied with another in Kentucky for the title of national champion (largest) burr oak tree. It is estimated to be between 350 and 400 years old, locals know it as “the big tree.” It stands alone – no other tree is within 1,000 feet.

The trunk, which boasts an impressive 287-inch circumference. A huge gathering of picnickers could relax in the shade under the 90-foot-tall tree’s 130-foot spread.

It stands about a half-mile from the banks of the Missouri River, Lewis and Clark expedition would have traveled within sight of the magnificent landmark at just under 200 years old when they passed by the tree on their journey up the Missouri River.

The McBaine Burr Oak, is south Columbia Missouri about two miles northwest of McBaine, Missouri. As always the GPS coordinates and a map link will be below in the description.
