Shore Acres Monterey Pine – Heritage Tree

This Monterey pine was planted between 1906 and 1921 by the Simpson family as part of their extensive estate. Louis J. Simpson was a lumberman, shipbuilder, and founder of the city of North Bend. In 1942, Simpson sold his estate to Oregon, designating it as a park. This tree was recognized in 2002 as the largest of its species in the United States by the National Register of Big Trees.

Located in Shore Acres State Park – 13 miles southwest of Coos Bay/North Bend off US HWY 101
