Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

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.)

Another interesting place in this location. So many places to see and only little time to spend here. But thanks for bringing me here.
