NOTAM: The airstrips at Fremont Island are managed by the UBCP in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding between the Utah DNR - Sovereign Lands Department and Utah State Aeronautics.

No discharge of firearms or hunting
No camping or other overnight use

No motorized vehicles (except aircraft on designated runways)
No items such as geocaches, land art, etc may be placed on the island

Furthermore, use of the airstrips atop Fremont Island is open to non-commercial use only. More information about the rules and regulations regarding the airstrips can be found at https://ffsl.utah.gov/fremont-island/. Takeoffs and landings on Fremont Island are restricted to the two established airstrips listed above. Landing or taking off elsewhere on the island is prohibited. Fremont Island is full of history, and we ask that you treat the island just as you would treat a wilderness area, by adhering to the UBCP Code of Conduct. 

Description: Fremont Island's lower airstrip rests along the northern shoreline of the island.
