"Comprised of diverse ecological features like swamps, forests, lakes, and coastal wetlands, Tiger Bay State Forest is an excellent destination for those interested in escaping the hustle and bustle of the area’s often overly crowded beaches. A few different trails wind their way through the state forest, and it’s not uncommon to find a quiet area for yourself or to see animals like snakes, turtles, and wading birds. The trails are flat, well-marked, and appropriate for children and even those who aren’t physically fit."
