Experiences
You can one of several trails built and maintained to provide visitors a glimpse of the park’s habitats and wildlife. The longest trail is the Bulow Woods Trail, a 6.8-mile trail that runs from the Fairchild Oak to Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park.
If the entire 6.8-mile ride seems a little daunting, you may choose to park at our second entrance off of Walter Boardman Lane and ride the short distance north or south.
Trail maps and other information may be obtained at the park office of Tomoka State Park, 4.5 miles south of Bulow Creek State Park on Old Dixie Highway.
Explore the park in a new and challenging way. Experienced Geocachers have requested permission to hide caches containing trinkets, treasures or information in various places around the park. Please check the Geocaching website for the most current information and clues to locate these caches.
The Bulow Woods Trail is a 6.8-mile hiking trail that runs from the Fairchild Oak in Bulow Creek State Park to Bulow Plantation Ruins State Historic Site. The northern section near Bulow Ruins is recommended for half-day hikes. Starting from the parking area on Plantation Road, the trail crosses open woods before entering Bulow Hammock, where the shaded path winds around massive trunks under the cathedral-like canopy of live oaks.
White-tailed deer, barred owls, and raccoons are commonly seen, and, occasionally, a diamondback rattlesnake. The hiking trail is open for day use from 8:30 a.m. to sunset.

Bulow Creek State Canoe Trail is accessible at both Bulow Creek State Park on Walter Boardman Lane and nearby Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park. This watery trail is equally well-known for the expansive views of the cabbage palm-lined salt marshes and for the redfish, snook and other fish sought by recreational anglers.
