Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens

Known For

Nine-century-old oak alley that makes every lens look like a cinematographer's

Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens has the most photographed oak avenue in the South — three-quarters of a mile of ancient trees forming a tunnel that's great for photos in every possible light. The charming storefront farmstand at the entrance keeps the whole visit feeling approachable.

🕐Best time to visit: Early morning in late April when mist clings to the oak tunnel

Our Take

Boone Hall's famous Avenue of Oaks — three-quarters of a mile of ancient trees arching overhead — is one of those real-life visuals that makes you audibly react when you turn down the entrance road. It sits at a nearby-worthy score largely because its fame means you won't have it to yourself, but the setting itself is undeniably spectacular.
