We enjoyed seeing the ruins and hiking the trails - did most of the trail from the huge Oak tree at the south end up to the ruins on the north end. Enjoyed it all. So glad that we checked it out while in the area.

Lovely setting and well worth a visit. We were on bikes and enjoyed riding into the area. It was quite cool the day we visited so we would like to go back when the weather is better and stay longer.

Don't miss the Fairchild Oak tree. It is indeed a sight to behold! If you have the time (and right shoes + bug spray) hike the trail for awhile and enjoy the feeling of old tropical Florida!

Very clean and well preserved area. History buffs would enjoy this. Cost to enter park was very reasonable for residents and the same for non residents or Florida. We visited several Florida state parks and enjoyed them all.

We took a picnic lunch and our small dog there and had a great time. There was a "parrot" get-together while we were there and we enjoyed it, too.

Home of the 2000 year old Fairchild Oak tree this is worth the visit. Take the loop and enjoy nature.

Yes indeed, the two thousands and some year old oak tree is impressive.We felt like little ants next to it. I wish it could tell us old time stories...But then we wanted to hike on the main trail we had to turn around after less than a mile - it was all muddy and wet! So disappointing. I wish they charged something to go in so that they could actually keep those trail 'alive'. A few planks of wood would make a big difference.(we went there after more than a week of no rain, so image what happens when it does rain!)

The Fairchild oak featured in the park is majestic and huge. We took the hike through the park and loved the information signs along the hike. There is no cost to visit this park and it is worth stopping here

You must stop here while on your scenic ride thru "the loop" to see the 2000+ year gigantic live oak tree . Its an incredible site to see.

This natural beauty and the history of the tree, the families that owned the property and the park in which it stands is a must see!

Lovely huge trees, easy walking and hiking trails, picnic tables. Everything we could want. Very scenic.

We rode bikes through this park doing "The Loop" as it's called in the Daytona & Ormond Beach area.... Lots of marshes, wading birds, and shaded quite a bit by all the trees/spanish moss.... We also hiked/walked the Wahlin loop Trail, which was easy and pretty nice.... Only did the lower section of the 6.8 mile Woods Trail, and that was just ok in our opinion.... Fairchild Oak was a neat site also.... If you have at least a 1/2 day, this park area is worth doing.

Nice place to visit. The Sugar Ruins Plantation is very interesting. We really enjoyed touring these ruins.

Very easy to fall back in time when you visit this place. Nice and cool and shadey on a hot day. Never see anyone else when we are there either.

We hiked the road trail and then visited the ruins of the old sugar plantation. There is a creek for kayaking and there are many large oak trees along the circular pathway. There are mosquitoes so bring bug spray as well as water. The hiking trail is designed to allow shorter or longer hikes. The sugar ruins offer lots of photo opportunities. Hint: combine this visit with the garden park as well as the coastal park at Flager Beach.
