Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park

Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park is located at County Road 2001 in Flagler Beach, Florida and is approximately 30 minute's drive from Daytona Beach. This used to be the site of a sugar plantation owned by the Bulow family and is now open to the public from 9am to 5pm on Thursday through Monday. The ruins of the former plantation, a sugar mill, several wells, a spring house and the foundations of the plantation house and slave cabins can still be seen here.

Visitors to the 150 acre site will find many things to do and see here including an interpretive exhibit center that tells the history of the plantation. There are restrooms at the exhibit center as well as the picnic area located along the banks of Bulow Creek. A 6.8 mile trail enables hikers and cyclists to see various species of wildlife such as barred owls, white-tailed deer and raccoons.

Canoes are available to rent from the park office along with maps of the Bulow Creek area. A boat ramp provides access to the creek for canoes and power boats but anything bigger than 16 foot is not recommended here. This is a good way to see more wildlife and occasionally birds such as bald eagles and swallow-tailed kites. Fishing is also popular with several salt water and fresh water species.
