Things to do in Box Elder
A Destination Full of the Unexpected
Land art on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. A railroad that finished a nation. Wetlands full of birdsong and mountains that barely make it onto a map. This is what naturally outside the box actually looks like.
Box Elder County doesn't have one big attraction — it has a dozen small ones, spread across wetlands, mountains, high desert, and lakeshore, each worth its own detour. Some are run by the National Park Service or U.S. Fish & Wildlife. Some are county landmarks. A couple barely show up in a guidebook at all. Together, they're the reason people who only meant to drive through Box Elder County end up staying an extra day.
