Big Red

Oregon's Largest Ponderosa Pine

Considered to be the largest Ponderosa pine in Oregon, Big Red is 162 feet tall, 28.9' around and may be in excess of 500 years old. Located in LaPine State Park, during its lifetime the tree has seen the Deschutes River often change its course and at one time stood in the middle of the river. At other times, it has withstood an estimated 50 to 100 forest fires. Big Red bears a number of charred scars on its trunk.
