Pinedale's Fremont Lake may be one of the most beautiful ice-skating venues in the world! Backcountry ice skating is a blast.
The area is known for being a winter paradise, with the best snowmobile trails in the country and a ski area that's family-friendly and offers quiet days on the mountains.
If you'd rather stick to wearing boots on the lake, give ice fishing a try. When the ice is thick enough, the lake is also open to snowmobiling. With a stunning mountain backdrop, there's no more beautiful place on earth.
Be sure to check with the ranger station for lake conditions before hitting the ice! While it’s typically thick enough for skating pretty early in the season, safety comes first and you’ll want to be sure you aren’t heading out into any danger.
Check out the Visit Pinedale website for more information on backcountry skating at Fremont Lake!
