Bulow Creek State Park, is home to a more than 800-year-old Fairchild live oak which has withstood Seminole Indian wars, developers, fires and countless owners, each with his own vision of the land's purpose. Because of the interest and dedication of local citizens, this tree and the water cisterns of two plantations once located on the site have survived to become what they are today, a monument to the vitality and strength of the land and its people.
Adjacent to the Fairchild oak is a nature trail which provides an excellent opportunity to experience the magnificence of hammocks and their associated plant and animal life.
Florida state parks are managed to appear (as closely as possible) as they did when the first Europeans arrived. All plant and animal life is protected in state parks. Hunting, livestock grazing and timber removal are not permitted. Do not remove, deface, mutilate or molest any natural or cultural resources or park facilities. For your safety, do not feed any animals. Intoxicants and firearms are prohibited. Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year. State museums are open from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. Many museums and historic sites are closed two days a week. Contact the park office prior to planning a special trip.
Pets are not allowed in camping or cabin areas, on bathing beaches, or in concession areas and may be restricted in other designated areas of Florida state parks. Where pets are allowed, they must be kept on a six-foot, hand-held leash and well-behaved at all times. Service dogs are welcome in all areas of the parks.
To discover and experience all of the Real Florida at Florida's 145 state parks, ask a Park Ranger where you can pick up a copy of the Florida State Park Guide.
