Highlighted Areas
Hellhole Bay Wilderness
Hellhole Bay Wilderness (2,125 acers) may take its name from a large forest opening possibly formed by early wildfire behavior in the area. A shallow canoe trail a little over a mile long and often less than a foot deep crosses the bay and is passable during the wetter times of the year. But in dryer months it becomes a muddy trail and can be difficult to hike. Heavy thick undergrowth, wet unstable ground and numerous water moccasins add to the challenges. There is no boat ramp but paddlers can access wilderness from Hell Hole Rd.
Explore this wilderness in winter and early spring to avoid biting insects and water moccasins.
Take a compass and a good map, it is easy to get disoriented navigating the swamp.
