“treasure the past!”
Fremont Indian State Park and Museum is a state park of Utah, US, which interprets archaeological remains of the Fremont culture. The park is located in Sevier County, Utah in the Clear Creek Canyon. The park directly adjoins Interstate 70 as it travels up the Clear Creek Canyon, and thus is highly accessible by auto. The nearest town with full services (motels, etc.) is Richfield. There are campgrounds and RV parks in the area as well. The site was discovered during construction of Interstate 70, and thousands of artifacts have been excavated from the ancient village and put on permanent display at the museum there. The museum offers hiking trails and picnic areas. The Fremont Indians were agriculturalists who lived from about 400 to 1300 in north and central Utah and adjacent parts of Colorado, Idaho and Nevada. The Fremont are thought to have come from hunter-gatherers who previously lived in this location and were influenced by the Ancient Pueblo Peoples who introduced corn and pottery, making year-round settlements possible. Discover artifacts, petroglyphs, and pictographs left behind by the Fremont Indians. During construction of Interstate 70, the largest known Fremont Indian village was uncovered. This museum preserves treasures from the site, including pottery, baskets, and arrowheads. Spend a day at the museum, and then camp at nearby Castle Rock Campground.
Highly recommend stopping here! We spent just a couple hours here but you could spend more or less. Very educational for young and old alike. We hiked a couple short trails and were not disappointed in what we learned and saw about the Fremont Indians.
This SP is beautiful. I went in June 2015 and there were hardly any people in the campground and my stay was very peaceful with no hassles.
What a hidden gem. Ended up getting into our spot late and had a wonderful staff member help us out and let us know all we could do once morning came. Also gave us some additional background on the area. The view of the stars was the best I’d seen in a long time. The trails to hick were fun and they had several options for everyone. Great staff, clean and well kept camping sites. Would recommend
