Tiger Bay State Forest - Danny Hole Road

Tiger Bay State Forest is located in east-central Florida and spans about 30,000 acres. Tiger Bay State Forest got its name because of the large wetland that supplies Daytona Beach, DeLand, and other local municipals with water. Tiger Bay State Forest is home to two natural lakes named Indian Lake and Scoggin Lake, and multiple other natural and manmade ponds. These bodies of water bring all types of wildlife; fish, gators, bears, deer, panthers, birds, and insects to the area. Tiger Bay State Forest allows visitors to take in the sights, smells, and sounds of nature by camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, picnicking, boating, and hunting. Danny Hole Road weaves through the forest and large clearing areas caused by the logging industry. Danny Hole Road is maintained and allows all vehicles to travel and explore Tiger Bay State Forest with ease. Visitors will experience solitude while being surrounded by lush green vegetation and black soot climbing up trees from a recent prescribed burn. Danny Hole Road is a great trail to escape the busy cities and relax, whether by walking, hiking, driving, or horseback riding.
