The Fremont River Waterfall was created in 1962 when the river was rerouted to accommodate the construction of State Highway 24. At the time of construction, the waterfall area was outside of the boundaries of Capitol Reef National Monument. A boundary expansion in 1969 encompassed lands surrounding the waterfall. At this date, the waterfall is located on federal land within the boundaries of Capitol Reef National Park, established in 1971. This water feature has historically been an attractive site to swimmers and recreationists and has seen increased use in recent years. The waterfall has changed significantly since its creation in 1962 as the water has cut a deep and fast channel into the sandstone.
