Why it is a Conservation Priority
Boxcar Bend has its name because of the boxcars placed in the river by Union Pacific in 1952 in an attempt to stop erosion beneath the train tracks. This restored area along the river is a beautiful stopping point along the bike path and is one of the most popular fishing access points on the Big Wood River.
What To Do And See:
An ideal close-to-home area to view over 48 bird species and catch a glimpse of
local wildlife.
