Natural history

[edit]

Pine andCalifornia oak woodlands, of theCalifornia chaparral and woodlandsecoregion, cover much of the park and are home to many birds and mammals.

Recreation

Fremont Peak State Park has hiking trails, picnic facilities and 22 campsites (both tent and RV). Fremont Peak Day is held every April, and features a picnic and other activities.

TheFremont Peak Observatory opened in 1986, and has operated every summer since, despite having battled the frequently brutal mountaintop weather. The astronomical observatory has a 30-inch (760 mm)telescope.

Proposed for closure

[edit]

Fremont Peak State Park was one of the 48California state parks proposed for closure in January 2008 by GovernorArnold Schwarzenegger as part of a deficit reduction program.[3] The closures were ultimately avoided by cutting hours and maintenance system-wide.[4]
