Sunday drive to Bulow Plantation

Beautiful Drive into the park.

Bulow Plantation State Park is only a few miles north of Ormond Beach where we are staying. This park houses the historic sugar mill, a few hiking trails, Bulow Creek (they rent canoes) for canoeing and fishing, and a beautiful drive into the park. Fairfield Oak tree, a 2000 year old tree is about 6 miles from Bulow. You can take one of the hiking trails that will take you to see this tree. It's beautiful. Pictures don't do it justice. The history of the Bulow sugar mill is very interesting. The mill itself was set on fire by the Seminole Indians. The U.S. government went in to run the Seminoles out and take them to a reservation. Major Bulow's son, John, attempted to prevent this, but the government took him prisoner. I'm sure I'm slaughtering this information, but it's close. You can google the history of Bulow Plantation and get the whole story.
