Mogollon Box is a day-use recreation area at the confluence of the Gila River and Mogollon Creek, accessible via County Road 293 from Cliff, NM, offering parking, restrooms, and opportunities for swimming, picnicking, and fishing along the river.

The area serves as a gateway to the Gila Wilderness with easy access to the first 2 miles of the Mogollon Box Trail along the Gila River floodplain, though upstream sections become challenging with frequent river fords and are only passable during certain seasons due to flash flood hazards.
