Tiger Bay State Forest - Haw Creek 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. Haw Creek Road is a short trail that takes explorers through the forest. The Haw Creek Road is located off the main trails so traffic is sparse and is a great trail to relax. The trail has some shallow puddles drivers can splash through while taking in the fresh air and watch for wildlife. Haw Creek Road is best suited for hikers, bikers, and horseback riders.
