Things to Do:

There’s a lot to do in Bunnell, here are some of our favorites:

 

Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park: The 150 acres of Bulow Plantation Ruins stand as a monument to the rise and fall of sugar plantations in East Florida. In 1836, the Second Seminole War swept away the prosperous Bulow Plantation where the Bulow family grew sugar cane, cotton, rice and indigo. Ruins of the former plantation, a sugar mill, a unique spring house, several wells and the crumbling foundations of the plantation house and slave cabins, show how volatile the Florida frontier was in the early 19th century. Today, a scenic walking trail leads visitors to the sugar mill ruins, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. The park has picnic facilities and an interpretive center that tells the plantation's history. A boat ramp provides access for canoes and small powerboats to scenic Bulow Creek, a designated state canoe trail. Anglers can fish from the dock or a boat.

 

Bull Creek Fish Camp: Away from the hustle and bustle of daily life at the end of County Road 2006, you can enjoy Florida nature at its finest. With 25 RV campsites available, you can bring your friends or family and stay a while.  The scenery is breathtaking and the there is no place better to relax and drop in a line. This pristine park is enjoyed by all, especially the locals feathered, furry and finned. Glimpse an osprey, great blue heron, or anhinga or watch an alligator sunning itself on the bank.  The 1005 acre preserve borders Haw Creek for approximately two miles along its southern boundary. Perhaps one of the most undiscovered pieces of paradise in Flagler County is on its western border at the Bull Creek Campground. Perched on the edge of some of the best fresh water fishing in the state, Bull Creek is one of Flagler County’s newest parks featuring a boat launch facility, bait shop and a lakeside restaurant.

 

Holden House Museum: The Holden House Museum is managed by the Flagler County Historical Society, a Florida non-profit corporation. The house is partially furnished as it would have been in the 1920's. There is an annex behind the house which has clothing, furniture and other artifacts of early Flagler County families along with many find collections including: bound volumes of The Flagler Tribune (1918-1980); copies of The Bunnell Home Builder (1912-1918); early Florida, St Johns County and Flagler County maps; 125+ framed and captioned historic photographs; individual files on early settlements and Flagler County families; over 7,000 indexed obituaries from area newspapers; and a searchable data base of over 236,000 names from Northern Florida and Southern Georgia.

 

Moody Homestead Park: This park is a small slice of Flagler County’s history wrapped in a grove of 400 year-old live oak trees. The 3.4-acre park is the former homestead of Robert Moody and his brother, I.I. Moody, who both built homes there in 1916. I.I. Moody has been given the title of Founder of Flagler County.

 

Flagler County Recreation Area and Fairgrounds: Provides baseball and softball fields, a barbecue area, pavilion, horse arena with seating, and livestock buildings.

 

And then of course there’s all the golf, beaches, river and fishing access with neighboring cities of Palm Coast and Flagler Beach.
