This was an absolutely beautiful place to walk around. We enjoyed seeing all the artifacts and ruins of the sugar mill. The history is very rich here with the mill being burnt during the second Seminole war. It was interesting to read all the signs. We were nearly the only people here the weekend we went. Very quiet and also dog friendly.
While on trails we even saw deer and a snake (pictures included) Definitely drive slow as we saw multiple deer jump out. Beautiful wildlife everywhere during the spring.
Der Bulow Plantation ruins Park ist ein Lost Place und beherbergt die Ruinen einer ehemaligen Zuckerrohr Plantage und Verarbeitung. Es wirkt alles sehr mystisch vor allem schon die Zufahrt dorthin. Man glaubt sich in einer anderen Welt zu sein.
I really wanted to see the ruins. There is an “honor box” at the entrance to the park with instructions to leave the $4 entrance fee along with a paper to fill out. Since I didn’t have the correct amount and there was no way to get change or pay with a credit card we left.
The ruins were easy to find ( well-marked & Waze gave us great directions). Informative. A small area, so easy to walk around. Super interesting history. We’d recommend.
This is one place that I am continually drawn to when I visit family in Palm Coast. The ruins, which can be driven up to by following the park road once you pay the entrance fee, are hauntingly beautiful - the sad history of the site is told in an interpretative exhibit at the ruins. Even driving the long road leading into the park from Old Kings Road, evokes visions and wonderment of what this plantation and mill must have looked like at the height of its operation. Living in FL in the 1700’s was not for the faint of heart with its constant threats from weather, insects, disease and war.
