The '''Fremont River''' is a {{convert|95|mi|km|adj=mid}} long river in southeastern Utah, United States that flows from the Johnson Valley Reservoir, which is located on the Wasatch Plateau near Fish Lake, southeast through Capitol Reef National Park to the Muddy Creek near Hanksville where the two rivers combine to form the Dirty Devil River, a tributary of the Colorado River.<ref name=NHD>{{cite web|url=http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/|title=The National Map|publisher=United States Geological Survey|accessdate=16 Feb 2011|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120329155652/http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/|archivedate=29 March 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite report|url=http://waterquality.utah.gov/watersheds/w_colo/images/Fremont/imap.htm|title=Fremont River Watershed: Water Quality Management Plan|website=waterquality.utah.gov|publisher=Utah Department of Environmental Quality: Division of Water Quality|format=PDF|page=1|date=27 Sep 2002|accessdate=9 Feb 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050318152424/http://waterquality.utah.gov/watersheds/w_colo/images/Fremont/imap.htm|archivedate=18 March 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="nps">{{cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/media/video/view.htm?id=2777528E-155D-451F-67B33A0D8C954A72|title=Fremont River|website=nps.gov|publisher=National Park Service|date=25 Feb 2012|accessdate=9 Feb 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite gnis|1441237|Fremont River}}</ref>
==Course== The Johnson Valley Reservoir is fed by Sevenmile Creek (from the north) and Lake Creek (from the southwest). The Fremont River passes through Fremont, Loa, Lyman, Bicknell, Teasdale, and Torrey and provides year-round irrigation for the agricultural lands of Rabbit Valley and Caineville. Then it heads through Hanksville and afterward to its mouth.
==Miscellaneous== The Fremont River has a drainage area of {{convert|751|sqmi|km2}} fed by spring snowmelt off Thousand Lake Mountain, Boulder Mountain, and the northern Henry Mountains. The river is named after John Charles Frémont.<ref name="nps"/> It gives its name to the Fremont culture, a Precolumbian archaeological culture.
