Bulow Creek State Park covers 5,600 acres, and contains the largest stand of southern live oak on the east coast of Florida, including the Fairchild Oak, which is 400 years old. Hikers often come to the park to walk the tree-lined 6.8 mile trail to the Historic Bulow Plantation Ruins, and interpretative signs along the route tell of the plantation’s history and its role in the Second Seminole War.

Canoeing and kayaking in the Bulow Creek is permitted, and there are several ideal places for picnicking around the park. Visitors may spot white-tailed deer, tortoises, bobcats, and barred owls, and should be very careful of their footing if straying off trails, as there are often well-camouflaged pygmy rattlesnakes in the bush.
