The Rio Frio Oak is the second largest Live Oak tree in the state - after the Goose Island Oak outside of Rockport.

This tree is somewhat hidden due to a hedge and fence directly in front of it. It's crown blends into the landscape. The Friends of the Rio Frio Oak have erected an historic marker, but the fence is festooned with no trespassing signs and a good view of the massive trunk is difficult - a photo nearly impossible.

    I thought you might like to have pictures of The Rio Frio Oak Tree. These were made this week while we were in the area. The boy in the picture is Luke Wines, son of Bob & Ronda. Sincerely, Don Eichler, Center Point, Texas, September 04, 2006
