The Rima Ridge Unit of Tiger Bay WMA is an extensive wetland in north central Volusia County, near Daytona Beach. This unit of the Tiger Bay State Forest consists of more than 11,000 acres between SR 40 and US 92 and is primarily pine flatwoods, hardwood hammocks, and hardwood swamps. Tiger Bay State Forest is a critical recharge area for the Floridian aquifer as well as a wildlife corridor for black bears and potential habitat for bald eagles. The entire forest was greatly impacted by the summer fires of 1998, and restoration is on-going. Hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, hiking, picnicking, paddling, boating, and primitive camping, provide many recreational opportunities. Horseback riding and bicycling are allowed on designated forest roads. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands.
