Hells Bay is a series of shallow creeks, bays and glades located in the Everglades National Park in Cape Sable, Florida. It is located on the southeast section of Whitewater Bay and is accessible by boat from the East through the bay and from the West via a marked canoe trail maintained by the Park Service. The Park Service also maintains Chickees throughout the area and allows overnight camping by permit.
