Tiger Bay WMA is ridge of uplands that was named after an extensive wetland of the same name in central Volusia County, near Daytona Beach. The area is part of the more than 31,000-acre Tiger Bay State Forest. The wildlife management area is bisected by U.S. 92 between Deland and Daytona. Most of the area is cypress swamps and pine-palmetto flatwoods, which burned during the extensive wildfires of 1998. Recreational opportunities on Tiger Bay WMA include hunting, fishing on several ponds, wildlife viewing, hiking, picnicking, horseback riding, and bicycling (on designated forest roads). Wildlife that make their home on the area include white-tailed deer, wild turkey, black bear, wood stork, wading birds, and Bachman's sparrow PDF.  Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands.  For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law PDF.  All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. Camping is prohibited.  For additional information, a recreation guide is available from the St. Johns River Water Management District.
