The Entrance to the Walking Box Ranch is from the graded Walking Box Road, about 0.75 miles south of Highway 164. From the turnoff, you can see the Fire Water Tank. One of the caretaker's daily responsibilities is to ensure that the gates are locked and the fence is intact. The area currently is owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and managed by Friends of Avi Kwa Ame. The area is watched by a caretaker, and three law enforcement officers live on-site in travel trailers. The site is available for researchers and occasional tours, but otherwise it is closed to the public.
