Bear Island is a unique find for any thrill seeker. It’s the only backcountry unit that allows street-legal 4-Wheel Drive vehicles, ATVs and swamp buggies to access its off-road trails.
It also includes 3 campgrounds – the Bear Island Campground, which is accessible to all vehicles, and Pink Jeep and Gator Head, which can only be reached by off-road vehicles, bikers or hikers.
To access the backcountry, you’ll need free permits available at various locations. Access points are gated, necessitating permits or a separate entrance for hikers and bikers.
Bear Island doesn’t feature hiker-exclusive trails; all paths are open to vehicles, hikers, and bikers.
With the exception of hunting dogs during the hunting season, pets are not allowed.
