The Ice House at the Walking Box Ranch is a historical structure used for storing ice before the modern age of refrigerators. One of the caretaker's daily responsibilities is to ensure that the ice house 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.
