Bulow Creek State Park is a Florida State Park located five miles north of Ormond Beach. It is on Old Dixie Highway, next to the Atlantic Ocean.

For more than 400 years, the Fairchild Oak has silently observed the events along Bulow Creek — serving as a noble guard of the area’s magnificent environment. Nearly two centuries ago in 1836, the neighboring Bulow Plantation was destroyed during the Second Seminole War. And still, the Fairchild Oak stands strong.

Local legend has it that this majestic oak tree was the site of two deaths. The first was that of James Ormond II, who lived in a house a stone’s throw from the tree and whose body was found under it, his cause of death unknown.

The second death is shrouded in even more mystery. Norman Harwood, who purchased the property around 1880, is remembered as a hulking man. Some stories portray him as a cattle farmer, while others cite him as a dry-goods businessman — but most accounts say Harwood was deep in over his head in debt. It’s unclear what happened, but the myths suggest that Harwood, buried in economic turmoil, killed himself under the tree.

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out, our stay was wonderful. Loved that we were walking distance from Main Street shopping and other activities near by"

Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful hotel. The experience satisfied all our expectations. The night life at the lobby with the dj was a lot of fun and the bar. The staff at the restaurants were super patient and kind. And the housekeeper was super nice and kind as well, we stayed at building 35 on the last floor and he was very polite."
