Bulow Creek State Park is about 45 minutes from my house so it was one of the first parks I went to on my State Parking journey. I will say this, if you are following a GPS and you see the state park sign but the GPS tells you to go a little longer down the road, turn into the park!
The highlight of the park is definitely the Fairchild Oak which is one of the largest live oaks in the South. It is so big that you have to back up to the parking lot to get a good picture with the whole thing in the frame. The tree is super old too, about 400 years and you can tell when you get an up-close look at it.
Besides the tree you can enjoy a short hike on the Wahlin Trail which takes you to a little ravine behind the Fairchild Oak.
If you really love to hike, you can take the seven mile Bulow Woods Trail over to Bulow Plantation Ruins. I opted for the car ride instead.
Before you visit, make sure you check out the parks website for all of the up-to-date park information: https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/bulow-creek-state-park
