This was also the original entrance road to Bulow's Plantation. Today it looks very similar as it did when Bulow Plantation was in operation.

3. Bulow Woods Hiking Trail (4/10 mile east of marker)

This trail leads into an old hammock, a deep shaded forest where live oak and other hardwood trees have grown undisturbed for centuries. The land is low and may be seasonally flooded. It drains into a brackish marsh along Bulow Creek. Cisco ditch, part natural and part man made, adds further variety to this four mile hiking loop.
