Overview

Box Canyon is an Arizona four-wheeler's hidden oasis. It offers a unique four-wheeling experience by allowing users to drive through a wet and sandy cliff-lined canyon. Most times of the year, there is just enough water to let you splash your way through the canyon. You can also explore side trails or hang out under one of the several giant shade trees. The Hassayampa River flows mostly underground. It starts at the Bradshaw Mountains and continues through Wickenburg, Arizona. Depending on the day and recent rainfall, the water depth typically ranges from non-existent to 15" deep (sometimes even deeper).
