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.

1/5 Terrible

"On arrival attendant was very pleasant. We were placed in Room 1230 away from main site (Bldg across the way); Both Friday night and Saturday night from 9:30pm - 3:30am tenants above (laundry area, next door 1229 and the other side were loud in and out of steel door slamming; kids running above and the smell of weed on us and on all of our belongings; I made a call to office Friday night as was told families live in those units and that was the way it goes; We were in town for a USTA Tennis Tournament where my children were up at 6am both Saturday and Sunday mornings. The music from the Harley event was music to our ears and ended at a decent time. The rest was pure HELL!"
