Manager's Message

Our fall season has finally arrived. Cooler weather is here and it is a great time to come for a visit and reflect on a way of life from the past. You can also rent a canoe or bring your own and enjoy a relaxing paddle on the creek. Come and experience the "Real Florida."

Welcome to Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park

In 1836, the Second Seminole War swept away the prosperous Bulow Plantation where the Bulow family grew sugar cane, cotton, rice, and indigo. Ruins of the former plantation-a sugar mill, a unique spring house, several wells, and the crumbling foundations of the plantation house and slave cabins-show how volatile the Florida frontier was in the early 19th century. Today, a scenic walking trail leads visitors to the sugar mill ruins, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. The park has picnic facilities and an interpretive center that tells the plantation's history. A boat ramp provides access for canoes and small powerboats to scenic Bulow Creek, a designated state canoe trail. Anglers can fish from the dock or a boat. The park is open Thursday through Monday from 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. daily. Located three miles west of Flagler Beach off County Road 2001(Old King's Road), between State Road 100 and Old Dixie Highway.
