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.

Top Halifax Hotel Reviews

Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Room was amazing! And the stay was great"

Bahama House

10/10 Excellent

"We had a deluxe waterfront room (801) and the view was great and the room was very large, clean and comfortable. The kitchenette was nice to have. The bathroom was clean and updated. Plenty of surface and underground parking. Enjoyed the daily happy hour and the continental breakfast. All staff were friendly and we would definitely stay again if in the area. My only negative comments / room for improvements would be new sheets and towels (one of our beds has holes in the sheets and 2 of our towels had holes) and the carpet transition from the bedroom to the balcony was too short and the tackstrip was exposed and my wife stepped on it. "

El Caribe Resort & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived early and was pleased to be able to check in. Check in was fast and pleasant. We quickly noticed our balcony door wouldn't open.Whithin 10 minutes maintenance arrived and replaced the door handle. Overfront view was perfect. While hotel may be older hotel our room was very clean and we had a great stay. Upon checking out I left my sunglasses and the nice woman cleaning our room came out before we left and returned them. This hotel will be our go to whenever visiting Daytona. Plenty of restaurants close by "
