A 1993 Forest Service study estimated that the extent of old growth in the forest was 549,800 acres (222,500 ha), 113,800 acres (46,100 ha) of which were Lodgepole Pine (Pinus contorta) forests.
The sites of two former uranium mines, the White King and Lucky Lass mines, are located on Forest Service lands within Fremont National Forest. They are now Superfund sites.
