The Fremont River Ranger District covers the southeast portion of the Fishlake National Forest, which also includes a portion of the Dixie National Forest, once known as the Teasdale Ranger District. Combined, the district manages over 500,000 acres, including Fish Lake, the Thousand Lake Mountains, and Boulder Mountain. The Fremont Ranger District spans over four counties; Wayne, Sevier, Garfield, and Piute. The district office offers information for visitors, free travel maps and other brochures, firewood permits, Christmas tree permits and a variety of other public services.

Numerous motorized trails and roads on the Fremont River Ranger District provide riders an opportunity to experience the area, as well as connect with trails to other areas.
