First time at this trail. I must say it was well worth the drive. Before you even get to the site, the scenery is very soothing. Once you arrive you find a small parking lot with restrooms and picnic tables. Walk a few steps and you will see two different paths. I took the Fairy path. Saw some really cool tiny frogs. Fast little guys. Some were red and some black. The trail is very clean. I recommend you take a first aid kit, water, bug spray, snacks, a, camera and good sneakers. Also, Id you are not good remembering the path maybe something so that you can mark your path back. Saw a few fishes as well. Definitely is on my to go again list.

Great place for hike.Nice to creek, we found 2 pygmy dusky rattlesnakes on the trail, some mud, the wild hog are doing some damage on the trail.

Great hike to do with friends, family, or alone. Parts of the trails you can hear cars from the road but once you pass that 1 mile mark its peaceful and beautiful.

Get place to train in eco racing! Beware of the red trail P-L-E-N-T-Y of wild life! From wild boarZ to Whitetail Deer to 3 different types of snakeZ all within 2 to 3 minutes of each other! Wooo!

Beautiful place to enjoy quiet solitude after riding the bike around the loop . nice trails to walk around and the huge Fairmont tree to see also

Sites are too small. Wi-fi included would have been nice. Staff was helpful and great. Pool open and clean all around. Dog walk/nature hike great. Lots around to do even a dog beach. Definitely nice and quiet the week after a holiday weekend.

Amazing trail did it yesterday with 6 kids on 10/18/2020, bring water shoes and or flip flops as well as shoes or boots. lots of flooding. we had to turn around with less than 3/4 of a mile to the ruins parking lot because of pigmy rattlers everywhere along the edge of the creek. the kids were tired and not paying attention and the abundance of rattle snakes had us worried the kids would step on one. also lots of ticks but this trail is so beautiful and almost completely shaded then entire hike makes it worth coming back to.

A quick stop to see a beautiful old oak tree. Clean bathrooms.

Thanks to a very helpful source, I discovered Bulow Creek State Park recently. This place was a short drive from Orlando and it was well worth the drive. There was no cost to get in or park here. I took Oakland, my dog, since pets are allowed. We spent over 4 hours here walking through the woods on the various trails. We also walked over 12 miles here. I did not see the famous tree out here since I was tired from walking a lot and it was late in the evening at that point. We took the trail on the left that leads to other trails that leads to the ruins in the other park nearby. The trail is about 6 miles to get to the other park. The walk was beautiful through the woods, bridges, narrow paths, and amazing sites of nature. If you love Pokemon Go, then youre in luck for all the Pokestops and gyms along the way.Some parts felt a little scary being alone since I did not know who or what was lurking in the woods. Some parts felt like a maze, so be attentive to signs on the paths. I would highly recommend this park for photography opportunities, adventurous hiking, nature lovers, and wonderful exercise in the wonders of Florida. Well worth a visit. I would suggest to bring bug spray, lots of water, and a light snack if you plan on walking about 12 miles.

Reading the reviews ... We almost cancelled our reservation. Im Glad that we decided to come anyways. We had a hard time finding our site since we came after dark and the post with the number of the site was hand written on the electrical outlet. Decent spot, paved roads, beautiful landscape. The pool is a nice size and appears clean. The restrooms must have been remodeled because theyre beautiful. No complaints yet.

This place was awesome!! Definitely, a nature lovers place to be!! The oldest tree in this park was HUGE and it was worth the drive to come see it!! Also, there are several hiking trails here as well, they look worth the time to explore!!

I love to explore old Florida history. This is a very nicely preserved old sugar Mill and cotton Plantation from the 1800s. You have to drive down a fairly long narrow roadway to get into the Park area. There are several trails, the ruins which are very interesting, an area you can have a picnic lunch, and also you can rent a kayak.

I enjoyed learning the history of sugar cane. I was a bit disappointed that most of this historical buildings had been destroyed by the Seminoles. Nevertheless, it was great experience!

First time here and it was great! Took our dog for a nice walk on the trail. It was a great day and we plan to return soon!

Small wooded area. Good boat launching. Indian statue in need of repair. Nice snack bar. Canoes for rent.

These positive reviews must be ancient. This place is a dump. Highly disappointing. Unfriendly staff as well. Just wanted to enjoy a trail with my lab. Advice? Go a few miles north to St. Augustine. Dont waste time or money here.

Beautiful work of nature powerful energy lots of healing power healers around and alike would really enjoy listening to the tree talks very beautifully energy makes you feel so at peace bless me too all

This a fun historical venue for the whole family. Short dirt road drive to actual entrance, $4 per vehicle, bring the correct amount, its an envelope placed in a box slot. Canoes, dock for bird watching and fishing, picnic area, small boat launch site, hiking, sugar mill ruins with signage/audio and interactive building. Public restrooms available. Great fun on a nice day.

It was a lovely park! Definitely not for small kids unless well supervised as the trails are highly uneven at portions and it does pose a small risk. However, its perfect for working out on the trail as the shortest trail is 2 miles and takes you through some beautiful terrain! Definitely worth a visit :)

Enjoyed the loop so much we went twice in the week. A beautiful must see.

Very beautiful. I like how ferns grow on trees here. Found toads hopping around and deer.

Office staff is rude and disorganized. Laundry room is old and dirty. Machines dont work half the time. Pool is nice and lots are spacious.

We visited Bulow Creek and Bulow Plantation. Both are State Parks in the same area, but we drove from one to the other. The first was an ok area with a shirt uneventful hiking trail. There was a very neat Live Oak estimated at 3 - 5 hundred years old. The Plantation was really neat and worth the visit. The old sugar mill ruins were amazing and very educational.

Nice park very interesting and informative. My only complaint is the original plantation site isnt clearly marked.

Part of Florida Bird trails this walk takes you on level pathways to various habitats. Old growth hammocks with trees towering 100. Follow to old boat landing (on map it says crab spot). Saw people fishing, kayaking from Putin. Saw Barred Owl, Redtail, many shore birds, eagle, storks etc. Best to find a comfy spot and just sit and let nature come to you.

Overgrown now. SAD. Not being taken care of. It USED to be wonderful trails and beautiful walks. We found it horribly in need of cleaning up. Trees have overgrown a lot of the trail and there is evidence of wild pigs...I would not feel safe walking here alone anymore as seems like a creeper place to hang out and Id be nervous of my safety. So overgrown that it isnt used much in the area we went.

Ive been to this camping location many times over the past 10 years with various friends. It seems to be going downhill! Theres no elective for camping with electricity (a fan in my tent is very helpful if theres no air flow). When looking for a location for my travel trailer, we were told there was only one that had sewage available, however there are several not even listed on the map. And, whats premium / elite / standard is quite hard to understand.As a veteran, I asked about discount, was told that it was 20%. Then when I made reservation and paid, I was told there was already a discount given. How am I stopped to be sure Im not being lied to? No change in price means theres not a discount!I went to wash clothes and the lock was broke on the laundry room, plus machines took my money and the office said its operated by a different business!The lady in the office ended up talking about me (the person who had issues with frogs making to much noise), while she was talking to another guest. Rude woman!Im looking for other places to rent / vacation at now!!!!

Beautiful park. Huge really old oak treeNice place for a break or nature walk on the trail.

It was nice. There was information on all aspects at the park. Remember to wear comfortable shoes. There is walking involved.

Lovely spot for a walk - there are two trails, one is a fairly short (1/4 mile or so) nature loop the other is a 6 mile straight hike to the Bulow Plantation Ruins State park - both trails are well maintained and offer fairly peaceful walks through the woods and across the salt marsh on the way to the Plantation ruins.There is an enormous live oak estimated to be between 300 and 500 years old that appears to be straight from a fairy story at the parking lot of this park.Please note that there are two sections to this park with separate entrances and parking spots - you can hike from one to the other on the 6 mile hiking trail. The ruins are located a few miles north of Old Dixie Highway off of Kings Rd.

This was a lovely place to visit. Historic easy to walk and view.

Very cool to see some history and explore the ruins. Easy shady walk to the sugar mill. Nice little kayak/boat launch as well. Very meat trees that have grown in different directions. $4 per car entrance fee

Loved the history lesson there. Im just sad they havent recreated a slave cabin or even made models to show how they or the big house may have looked.

Beautiful place. Lived here my whole life and never been. What an awesome place.

Very educational! Great place to spend the afternoon, will definitely go back!

Good look at native Florida. Great place to visit if you love nature

This is what old Florida use to look like. Absolutely incredible. There are ancient, giant live-oak trees some say 2,000 years old. Beautiful 3-6 mile walking trails, clean restrooms, 2 picnic tables under a shelter with a single pedistool barbecue and benches throughout the park. A must see if you would like to see what all of Florida use to look like.

I rode along with friends from the midwest to go see the ruins and didnt check the park hours. We went on a Tuesday (they are closed Tuesday and Wednesday) but then went on a hike through the park and loved it! Sincerely a wondeful place to hike, a nice offering of the beauty of north Florida.

Great park, very interesting ruins

Very Interesting, great hike, everything explained clearly!Really enjoyed it!

Great day trip for hiking and sites.

Beautiful! So much history!

Beautiful Place!! RV Park is Clean & Convenient! Small Store inside office with assorted drinks, snacks, bags of ice available @ descent price! Clean Restrooms and Showers w/ Handicapped Accessible Stalls.

The fair child oak is truly a massive and beautiful tree highly recommended

This place has some fantastic trees. Nature at its finest. Im 62, my 7yr old is standing on a rock in front of one of the trees.. it shows the size of these things. Has bathrooms and picnic tables. Plus some trails.

Remaining skeleton of sugar plantation on the park grounds. Kayaking, fishing and lots& lots of skeeters!

Nice trail walk. Quiet. Enjoy.

Good history here. Old style sugar mill. Beautiful park.

Beautiful park, if coming from the beach, please slow down, and try not to hit all the little white butterflies, they are...everywhere...during spring/March, flying all over the place, across the road. Careless, stupid people were just speeding down the street, and smacking into them, I saw them landing in the middle of the road, it was so sad. :( The speed limit is too high, when all the butterflies are out, you have to curb your OCD for a few minutes, slow down to about 20mph at least, and avoid hitting them.

Unbeatable for historical significance, informative displays, well-marked trails, canoe and kayak rentals.

We really enjoyed walking around and seeing part of Floridas history.

Fun state park to check out. The ruins are the cool.

Bulow is a beautiful place to come with your family and friends to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and just relax.Follow me on Instagram@St_AuggieChick

This place was absolutely the best. Great trails to walk with my dogs. The fairchild oak was truly great to see. Its enormous! You have to check it out if you are in the area. Walk around it and stand under its branches.

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Love to visit. Hate to leave. Want to return soon !

Beautiful place for a nice hike or quite family time

I enjoyed walking on the trail. Its so peaceful and beautiful

Bulow Creek state park was a marvelously informative stop. Excellent place for relaxation and education.

We did the historic ruins section. Trails were closed due to flooding but you could walk to the ruins. Ranger was very nice. And of course herps. Can be found.

Amazing 2,000 year old oak trees accompanied by some beautiful natire. Trails are well kept and have nice scenery.

Peaceful. Would love to do the hiking trail next time. No fee to get in.

Very nice walking park. We did the small trail. They had information plaques along the way to explain the vegetation

Lovely place full of history and things to see. Plenty of parking. The park is well kept, safe and easy to walk around. We loved it here and will be coming back. Make sure to bring a good camera, lots of picture opportunities all around. Make sure to make all the way to the sugar mill ruins.

Beautiful drive. We stopped at several little stop offs along the way and did a little hiking through the terrain. The ground was very wet in some spots, so be prepared for that. Wear lots of bug spray!

This beautiful oak was standing when Jesus walked the Earth! To touch something living over 2000 years is a humbling experience!

I enjoyed myself there taking photos with the old tree. Was really fun.

Beautiful area, only complaint is the sign that says Do Not Climb tree should be positioned in front if tree, while we were there 3 Grown women and 1 Grown decided to climb the tree!!!!! And one of the woman broke a branch from it and said she wasnt going to take it!!! They were told by people in our group youre not suppose to climb the tree..

Always good to get away and visit old Florida back roads and pop in to see the amazing Oak tree. The mosquitos are bothersome so make sure put your repellent on, and enjoy the loop.

Cool place. $4 per car to get in. Support the local heritage.

Facility is clean and well cared for....tent sites however leave a bit to be desired with no picnic tables provided. Makes meal prep and relaxation all but impossible.

Very nice trails. Lots of birds!

Delightful. It feels out of the way and like stepping back 200 years. Some history, some well-wooded hiking trails, some pretty waterfront vistas and some beautiful photo opportunities from the light patterns playing on the ruins of the Sugar Mill.

Access by car or by walking trail. A walkway guides you around the ruins with historical info. Nice why to spend an afternoon..

Love this park! Love the history & always relaxing

Beautiful and quite nice pool trail and ruins

Fantastic ruins from the old sugar mill. The mini walking trail around the park is very charming. Clean bathrooms.

Great place to hike. But definitely, definitely bring bugspray. I cannot stress this enough. But overall we had a great time.

This place is a hidden gem. Its honestly beautiful here. Its so peaceful. I was on the Daytona Loop on my motorcycle, and just happened upon this place. You should stop in! Oh, of these trees could talk.. Some have seen many generations come and go.

Big beautiful trees.

Lots are nice size. Whole place could use some updating. No wifi and only a few cable boxes. We waiting until our 9th day to get a box, and then it didnt work. Nice location.

Beautiful park. Nice mini-trail for a short hike and a miles-long trail for a longer leisurely walk through the woods. Hoping to one day see one of the otters living there.

Free park for hiking and iconic pictures with the big oak.

I absolutely love this place, very nice scenery and an amazing history. If you love Florida history than this is a must visit.

Beautiful place and its historical. Nice place to hike and learn about the sugar making back then. The lizards you see at my pet bearded dragons and werent part of the animals in the park,although there were small lizards everywhere.They even have restrooms as well as a boat launch and small pier.

This place is a real hidden gem. Beautiful hiking paths, and great nature. You can also take your dog if youd like.

This sugar mill structure is well preserved.

Very interesting picturest place to visit.

Very nice park in very dense wooded area with boat landing 4.00 per day. No camping though

Its amazing but we are full here in Flagler Cnty. so stay away!

Awesome place! Love the lakes to go fishing at! The pool is awesome and the staff are very welcoming!

A state park of limited interest. Theres not a lot that has survived time and what was left after the Indians burned the place. But they have made an effort to describe the remains. There is a boat ramp. I didnt used or examine it. The dirt drive is rather long but okay and I found it interesting to some degree. There is a four dollar entrance fee without an attendant. If youre in the area, check it out.

Love to look at the live old oak tree there

There is a great, well maintained trail with lots of shade that closes a half hour before sunset. The ruins require an entry fee and close at 5pm but are definitely worth a look if you enjoy Florida history or simply old ruins and buildings. There are also some beautiful historic oaks at the opposite end of the trail from the ruins.

This was not the first time Ive visited this park and will not be my last! I love to go here to charge my batteries lol those oak trees are amazing. I recommend anyone who loves nature and its healing powers to stop and check it out! Bathrooms are cleans also

Awesome biking, nice parking and the tree was pretty cool as well

Fairchild Oak, hiking Trails...its a great place to get out into nature

Beautiful park. Has all the stink and smells of a coastal swamp area and beautiful views of ponds,birds, gators and a Harley scampering down the road. Great place for a bike ride or even a walk.

If you appreciate big old trees and some history, its a good place to visit.

I love all state parks. Always unique. Beautiful. Home of the Fairchild oak tree.

Great park with some awesome trails. The entire surrounding area is super great to see old Florida scenery.
