About this river

Fremont River

The Fremont River is a tributary of the Dirty Devil River, located in central Utah. It is approximately 90 miles long and flows through the Capitol Reef National Park. The river's hydrology is primarily fed by snowmelt in the surrounding mountains and is dependent on seasonal precipitation. Two reservoirs, the Johnson and Pando Reservoirs, were constructed on the river in the 20th century to provide water for irrigation and agricultural purposes. The Fremont River also played an important role in the history of the Fremont people, who lived in the region over a thousand years ago. Today, the river is popular for recreational activities such as fishing and kayaking, and supports a diverse range of plant and animal species.
