Nestled at nearly 2,261 meters (7,420 feet) above sea level, Fremont Lake forms a serene bowl within the Fremont Lake Basin. The lake is fed primarily by snowmelt from surrounding peaks and drained by the Fremont River, which eventually joins the Green River. Visitors come to Fremont Lake for remarkably clear water that reveals rocky lake beds, as well as for mountain views — uitzicht dominated by jagged peaks that rise directly from the water's edge. Recreational opportunities include non-motorized boating, kayaking, swimming, and fishing for species like cutthroat trout; the shoreline also offers trails and primitive campsites. Access is generally via Fremont Lake Road from Pinedale, with amenities limited around the lake itself, making it a favored escape for those seeking peaceful natural beauty and outdoor solitude.
