Fremont Indian State Park and Museum is located on I-70 in Clear Creek Canyon, 20 miles southwest of Richfield Utah and 17 miles east of the I-15 junction.

This park was established by the state legislature in 1985 to protect and preserve the rock art and archaeological sites in Clear Creek Canyon. In 1983, during construction of I-70 through the area, the largest known Fremont village was discovered.

The park is one of the best places in Utah to study rock art: pictographs (painted on the rock canyon walls) and petroglyphs (chipped, chisled or etched into the rock walls).

This is a site worth stopping for. The visitor center includes a museum displaying much of the artifacts recovered from the area. A replica of a Fremont pithouse and granary is located nearby. A short, paved interpretive trail begins at the visitor center and is wheelchair accessible. A 1880's pioneer cabin is nearby with tours available on request. Castle Rock campground has 31 campsites, modern restrooms and provides access to the 250-mile Paiute ATV Trail.

Also, note the following while in the area:

• The speed limit on park roads is 35 MPH unless otherwise posted.
• Stay on trails. It is unlawful to deface any natural or constructed feature or structure.
• Park only in designated areas, set your parking brake and lock your car.
• Watch out for snakes in the summer months.
• No hunting is allowed within park boundaries.

To verify your visit to the park:
Email me a description (or photo) of the signs used to mark the interpretive trail that begins at the visitor center.
Email photos to: SirGerald1@yahoo.com. (Please make the photo files 100K or smaller - this mailbox isn't very big to begin with.)
