Bulow Creek, FL

Bulow Creek State Recreational Trail

Bulow Creek begins at the historic Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park and leads upstream and back and then downstream to the entrance of the Intracoastal Waterway. You can paddle about 3 miles upstream from the park until the creek becomes too narrow. Most of this area is wild and scenic.

Going downstream, the water begins to turn brackish as you approach the Intracoastal Waterway. Much of the trail flows through grassy coastal marsh typical of the Atlantic Coast.

If you leave a vehicle at Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park, be sure to return to your car before the gates are locked at 5 p.m.

It can be difficult navigating the channels in the salt marsh between the Walter Boardman Bridge and the takeout at High Bridge Road. Be sure to take a GPS, map and compass. - FDEP
