Bon Secour suffered extensive damage on September 16, 2004 due to a near direct hit from Hurricane Ivan and the accompanying 20-foot (6m) storm surge. Ivan destroyed much of the wildlife habitat and left a variety of debris in its wake including propane tanks, boats, jet skis, trailers, parts of buildings, and other scattered construction debris. Both the Jeff Friend and Pine Beach trail systems suffered extensive damage. Debris cluttered the Jeff Friend unit, while the Pine Beach trail suffered the loss of both the Gator Lake boardwalk and observation pavilion. Following extensive repairs and the replacement of the boardwalk, both trails are now open to the public. Also, the dunes of the Purdue and Fort Morgan units suffered extensive damage. However, natural processes are beginning to repair the damage.
After cleaning up a second wave of less-extensive damage from Hurricane Katrina, limited access to the refuge beach in the Purdue unit reopened in October 2005.
