  Bulow plantation state park will appeal to those who enjoy discovering the "real florida". The long drive down "old beach road", a historic sand drive thru canopy of trees is beautiful and unique. Hiking trails are offered to the sugar mill ruins or you may drive right to them. The park offers a shaded area with picnic tables and grills on the river front. Bring a picnic or plan a cookout and bring lawn games. There is a small fishing dock and canoe rentals are available at nominal fees. This is the place to visit if you crave quiet and relaxation.

  Since 2005 I have been to the ruins at least 23 times. As a history geek, this place just absolutely amazes me. Small on sight museum but the main attraction...the ruins...located in the middle down a dirt road in the woods. Super interesting for those who like this sort of thing. Have probably taken 25-30 people here and all loved it.

  Nice park and peaceful grounds. My husband and I were looking for a something historical to see instead of the just doing the beach thing. This was recommended from the volunteer at the Flagler Beach museum. We enjoyed looking at the ruins and learning about their history.

  Already the drive there was amazing, with allees covered with Spanish moss. There is a beautiful unpaved short trail from Picknick area to the ruins, through wonderful quiet natures. The ruins and explanations are informative and there's a beautiful boardwalk. Certainly the place makes one also think about those times when slavery was the foundation of the wealth of few. We had brought our own picknick and found the pretty picknick place at the river a good place to sit down and think a bit about this and what has really changed since and what not.

  See some of the real Florida and learn about some of its history. There are some interesting easy hiking trails best done in the winter. a good place to picnic.

  This area has some great hiking, a six mile trail that is part of the great Fl birding trail. The old ruins are super cool and make for amazing photography with the towering live oaks and spanish moss. I highly recommend making the trip!

  Great florida park with plenty of history. The sugar mill and history of the plantation home is very interesting. we walked the trails and went down to the Bulow River. The long dirt road into the park is quite and adventure. Have fun.

  Drove all the way from Tampa to find out that the park is closed Tuesday and Wednesdays. A sign at the (closed) entrance gate stated this. So disappointed as we didn't find this out until arriving on a Wednesday.

  Had a great time with my wife, 7 year old and 6 year old. The hiking trail had a lot of mud but that just helped create memories. Had a great time!!
