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.)
